“Hopefully they go in and, fingers crossed, there is not too much structural damage. If there is not too much structural damage – it is tough to say, my physio knowledge is a little bit woozy – but I would say that can be anything between 4-8 weeks.

“When he came off my gut was that this doesn’t look good, but that is purely subjective. They will go in and scope and see what is wrong.”
