Yedlin arrival could be accelerated if Walker is still struggling in January.

Would be good if Yedlin came in Jan. Seems like there's no return date for Walker. I'm not sure the extent of his injury was diagnosed correctly to begin with. How can a few weeks be extended to so many months?

Filthy fucker.

At least it'd put some spunk in the team!

On another note, good to see the Arse spanking someone in the Champs League just before playing us... Nice! Let's just hope they've knackered themselves out!

From what has been said/leaked recently, it sounds as if Walker has a hernia, probably an inguinal hernia. They aren't especially difficult to diagnose, but working out how to treat them is not a straightforward decision (I speak from experience).

It's common enough to try to manage them and thus avoid surgery over a period of months or years, but most hernias deteriorate gradually and require surgery eventually.

If the operation can be done as a keyhole procedure, then the recovery is only 2-4 weeks, as opposed to 6 weeks (plus getting fit again) for an open surgery.

But there are risks attached to the surgery, including chronic and long-term groin pain, nerve damage and the recurrence of the hernia, so it's clear enough why, in the case of an elite athlete, they would prefer to try to manage the injury before rushing him onto the operating table.

I think I remember Darren Anderton suffering quite bad hernia problems (among others). Sensible to be cautious with him.
