Injuries Update
<IMG src="/images/BrentfordFC_Logo.jpg" align="left" height="125px" width="125px" style="padding-right:10px;">The club’s medical department has given detailed updates on the condition of two long-term absentees, Farid El Alagui and Kevin O’Connor.
Farid suffered a multi-ligament knee injury in the league match against Crawley Town at Griffin Park in October. By December he was walking and then jogging, on the club’s new Anti-Gravity Treadmill. He flew to Dubai with the squad recently, where he stepped up to full-pace running and ball drills. It is hoped he will be able to rejoin the squad in three to four week’s time. If his initial training period is successful, he will be in contention to make a competitive appearance before the end of the season.
Kevin suffered multi-ligament ankle and leg fracture injuries in the league match against Portsmouth at Fratton Park in November. He underwent surgery to stabilise the ankle and by the turn of the year, he too was making use of the club’s anti-gravity treadmill. This past week he began running outdoors and is expected to return to first team training in four to five weeks. Like Farid, he could make an appearance before the end of the season.
