I am not being negative. I am being realistic. There is a range in those time frame stats for a reason. You can't expect everyone to be back in the shortest end of that range. The more people make it back at the short end of the time frame the more people expect that to be the case. Then when someone doesn't make it back within that shortened time frame the player starts to take blame about not doing enough or something of their fault no matter the truth.
The best option is to expect him back in 9 months that way you are not pissed when he doesn't make it back in 6 months which is more unrealistic although possible.
