He never gets a game anyway so not much to worry about.I think (though obviously I don't know the lad personally), that it was the former.
It's a difficult situation, I'm pretty sure it would be illegal/unethical to force someone to go under the knife.
And no operation is 100% safe. Stuff goes wrong sometimes.
Given that we would have been unlikely to have finished much higher this season, and hoping he won't miss too much of the next, it's probably not ended as badly as it might.
