That's him

The only positive is that the new op has been performed in London by one of the best knee surgeons in the world who normally only works with premier league players Looking back Jones possibly tried to rush back too soon after his first injury

We should try to get Nathan Holland on loan from West Ham Quick and brave wide man from U23's who was on verge on first team but got injured and Grady Diangana stepped up instead I suspect the club will be looking to loan him out to get first team football

It doesn't look like good news unfortunately from what I've heard I guess the club will update us soon

Another interesting piece in today's sports section of the Times

I believe further scans are planned And possibly a second opinion sought He had to wait for the swelling to go down so it may be a few days before we hear more

And if they are still interested in Bayliss

Alex Ferguson bought Ruud Van Nistolrooy immediately after he did his ACL when he was about 21 He knew it was a risk but thought it worth taking

Tests so far inconclusive Not sure if this is good or bad news Further tests have to wait until swelling goes down He's gone home to be with his family for a few days so doubt we'll hear any more till next week

Apparently he told the medical staff the pain was nowhere near as bad as when he did his ACL I remember Stuart Pearce trying to 'run it off' when he broke his leg playing for West Ham

The lad was desperate to try to play on Nick He was hoping it was just a strain or a twist that he would recover from quickly but as soon as he tried running on it he couldn't support his weight He's been having treatment over the weekend but I suspect he'll be out for a while whatever is found...
