Norris Surgery Success
By Aston April 30 2008
Surgery on Town midfielder David Norris' heel has been a success and it is expected he will be fully fit in time for pre-season.
Norris has been out of action since March after injuring his heel in Town's win against Charlton and despite the Town physio staffs best efforts Norris underwent surgery on Monday in London.

Town physio Matt Byard: "David was suffering with a lot of discomfort in his heel fairly soon after arriving at the Club in January but played through the pain, but in the Charlton game he sustained a tear which eventually led to surgery on Monday.

"We were hoping to avoid an operation and get him back in action and he was making progress but he could only get to around 70 per cent activity before the pain intensified.

"He had a thickened area of scar tissue which became attached to a muscle in the foot and was bound around a nerve. This caused David to experience sharp, stabbing pains and in the end surgery became necessary.

"Mr Lloyd-Williams, a foot specialist in London who carried out surgery on Jason and Bam Bam last year, did the operation and was very happy with the result.

"David will be on crutches for 10-12 days and will then begin his rehab. He will not be able to start running for five or six weeks but we expect him to be fully active again for pre-season."
