well, if it is fibular periostitis it needs a good rest. preferably 3 months. that's the problem barlow had when he made a staggered comeback (no pun intended) from his busted leg. the medics will be injecting the region with anaesthetic in the rooms before and during the match no doubt.
if it is something else or a combination of injuries, who knows. theres always osteitis pubis lurking in the background and that never quite leaves you.
either way, I think he won't be back to his best till next season.
