Hi,
'Recovered' is a verb tense there (Simple Past). It's like 'After Mary cooked dinner'.
The presence of such a verb makes it a clause, just as the lack of a verb is what makes something a phrase.
That's how I define these two terms. Perhaps you have learned a different definition of 'clause' and 'phrase'?
Best wishes, Clive

The part in bold doesn't seem at all grammatical to me as written. As I said, if 'you' wrote it fully as a clause, it would be fine. But you didn't. You can't always just
