Just seen the tweet.

What an unlucky lad.

He'll be fine and all but can't be very nice for him

[Buxtonclaret]

That's disappointing for him.
Hope he'll be ok for our Euro trip!

Nightmare news for the lad, anyone know the likely length of absence ?

[mill hill claret]

it has just said he should be fine for pre season

[FactualFrank]

I don't think he's 28 though, as the club have put in their statement.

[Colburn_Claret]

I hope no one drops out now, that would only make the pull even more butter.
Quick recovery Tarks

It’s done as a day surgery so will be in and out. Usually key hole these days

No heavy lifting for 6 weeks is the usual advice

The worry is if it’s an inquinal hernia, which it usually is, the chances are the other side will go within the next few years. Hopefully will happen preseason, unless he’s left

Might explain his obvious discomfort in the last few games of the season.

[dpinsussex]

Bet he wouldn't have left if selected . Still all the better for us

[South West Claret.]

More problems in our centre of defence, should be sorted by pre season though.

[Darnhill Claret]

I agree 100% with Cuban. Maybe those 'not good enough for Liverpool' critics might wish to reconsider their judgement which also seemed to be based on the fact that he was obviously struggling in the final few games of the season when he tended to grab hold of his opponents when they went past him. Now you can work out why he was short of his usual burst of speed off the mark, though not saying that he's a clone of Usain!!

Wiki says 25, Frank.

They say 25 on the club website FF.

Better now than miss pre season. However, was hoping one of the others would need such an up, to give to his chance.

[COBBLE]

As a Burnley fan I would not wish to deprive the lad the chance the opportunity to compete at the highest level. However this may take him off the market and means he is ours for another year.

[IanMcL]

Good thinking!

I had my second op on the 10th April and am feeling fine. My other side was done in Dec 2011. I had mesh implants on both occasions not keyhole as the surgeon recommended that for a more permanent repair, the mesh was better. So far so good
