Philippe Christanval recently experienced a recurrence of an old problem with some swelling around the sesamoid bone near the big toe. He had a cortisone injection on Friday and we are hoping to settle it down. He will be cross training for the rest of this week and, if all goes well, we hope to have him back in full training next week.
Adam Watts is recuperating from an ankle tendon rupture and he is approximately two months into his recovery. He has just started cross training but is still on crutches at the moment. It will be a slow process and we are looking at having him back at about the 4-6 month mark.
Adrian Leijer had a problem with his patella tendon which was causing him some pain. He saw a specialist last week and was given an injection which will help improve the healing process. He is likely to be off for two weeks following the injection, during that period he will gradually get back into training.
Aaron Hughes has recovered from gastroenteritis which kept him out last week. He has settled down and is available again.
