And so the problems begin again!!

Quick question, but why did they need to operate to check the screws? Mine are in for life. If they ever need to check them, trust me they show up fairly well on an x-ray.

I thought he was good to go before last season ended but we (sensibly) didn't risk him as we were safe.

.... it's rather late to be discovering this. Thank God for our revamped, soopa-doopa medical team. Next .... learn how to run again ?

Stuart holden mk 2??

More bad luck or more bad medical advice?

Perhaps to see if there is any unwanted movement in them? Presumably he is/was in some sort of unexpected discomfort.

[Lord Kangana]

That may be true of pins, but screws are a different ball game. I can never have the same break twice they are so strong.

[Bruno3]

Maybe he just doesn't fancy pre-season training

I thought it read the operation was also to remove scar tissue.

[Lord Kangana]

Yes indeed, but wtf with regard to the screws.

If I had to guess I would think Tierney has felt some discomfort or localised pain after stepping up his training. Could be cautionary or some other underlying problem. They certainly haven't done it for nothing.

Perhaps after Holden's breakdown(s) they didn't want to take any chances.

Hmmm. I thought screws could sometimes start to back out, if that makes sense?

Nah, they use self tapping screws nowadays, or anti-vandal.
