\n Warrington Wolves\u2019 star winger saw his 2025 season ended painfully early when he left the field during the Challenge Cup semi-final victory over Leigh Leopards in May.\n<\/p>\n
\n Scans confirmed he had suffered a devastating anterior cruciate ligament injury in his knee, and a nine-month road to recovery lay out in front of him.\n<\/p>\n
\n Immediately, focus switched to ensuring the England international would be fit to take a full part in the 2026 campaign, and he posted a big update on his Instagram story earlier today.\n<\/p>\n
\n With the caption \u201cToday is a good day,\u201d Ashton posted a video of himself running for the first time on an anti-gravity treadmill, which helps to accelerate injury recovery.\n<\/p>\n

\n Ashton was using the Cheshire Physioactive clinic in Stretton, whose facilities have been used by several Wire players to accelerate their recoveries from injury.\n<\/p>\n
\n His was the first of three ACL injuries suffered by Warrington players during a torrid 2025, with fellow outside-back Arron Lindop and half-back Oli Leyland also seeing their campaigns brought to an early end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warrington Wolves\u2019 star winger saw his 2025 season ended painfully early when he left the field during the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":172170,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-172169","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-rugby","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172169"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172169\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
