Update on Murray's Injury

Some new information has been released about Matt Murray's injury sustained at MK Dons on Tuesday. This from the Express and Star.

Wolves’ head of medical services, Steve Kemp said: “Matt has had his scans and will undergo surgery tomorrow.

“He’s expected to be out for the rest of the season. This is a completely new injury and Matt’s left knee is fine. This is an injury to his right knee which he has no history of problems with.

“It has come completely out of the blue and is not career threatening. Matt will be looking ahead to his recovery in the New Year.”

Boss Mick McCarthy extended his sympathy to Murray.

The manager said: “It’s bitterly disappointing for Matt. He was just coming back and getting some football under his belt and now he’s suffered this setback.

“It’s too early to make any long term judgements but knowing Matt Murray, his strength of character and the way he has battled back before he'll be fighting tooth and nail to do so again.

“He’s a great goalkeeper and a great personality and everyone at the club wishes him well.”

Chief executive Jez Moxey also has faith in the keeper to make a full recovery from his latest injury.

He said: “We all feel for Matt after this terrible setback. But if anyone can come back from it then I'm sure he can. We will do everything in our power to help and support his recovery.

“The club are behind him, the fans are behind him, and I’m sure his family are behind him and we all believe he will return.”
