McBride Injury Update

Brian McBride’s involvement in Saturday’s match against Middlesbrough at Craven Cottage came to a premature end when, in the process of scoring Fulham’s opening goal in the 16th minute, the striker fell to the ground clutching his knee.

Speaking to fulhamfc.com on Tuesday morning, Fulham FC Head Physiotherapist Jason Palmer, gave the latest update on McBride’s injury.

“Brian suffered a dislocated patella, which was promptly repositioned by our Club Sports Physician,” Palmer explained. “Within a couple of hours after the game he was reviewed by an orthopaedic specialist, who confirmed that Brian’s injury will require surgical intervention.

“Further investigations will be carried out on Brian’s knee over the next couple of days, the results of which will determine the exact nature of the surgery.”
