Or was there an repeated abnormal growth/swelling on a nearby bone or something? I recall the matter being explained along those lines but can't remember the specifics; maybe someone can clarify...) That was the root of the recurring problem anyway, as far as I know, and he had originally been scheduled to have that operation when Moyes was in charge, but when Martinez took over then, it didn't seem to happen for some reason. Hopefully, now that it's sorted, he can actually get a good stretch of playing time now without any injury problems arising.
Where did I put those Rosary beads?...
