Gold is ‘99% certain’ Valencia won’t need an op!
The confusing merry-go-round surrounding the state of Valencia’s injuries took another twist today when Gold revealed to his 119.000 Twitter followers he was certain the surgeon’s knife would not be required to aide the striker’s recovery – despite the club’s head of medical and sports science saying the exact opposite!
Stijn Vandenbroucke told the official West Ham website on Monday that Valencia could be set to return to action in 10-12 weeks.
“There is now a very small chance that he will need an operation and that we instead hope to treat the injury to his fibula using conservative treatment, which we hope to start in three weeks,” revealed Vandenbroucke at the beginning of the week.
But Gold is adamant he has the inside track on the player’s health – and is a lot more confident the injuries will heal without the need for surgery.
Fingers crossed, let’s hope the Chairman is right!
