"I was scared. I remember right away feeling, oh this isn't right. It was 10, 15 minutes into the game, I blocked a pass against Everton and I knew right away, so my hand goes up and obviously I've known experienced players who have done serious knee injuries six months plus feeling able to walk off."
"I was petrified really, but then you get the scan and you wait and thankfully it was good news that it was only a minor knee injury. The knee obviously reacts in different ways to surgery, but it could have been a lot, lot worse."
