Toon Defender Goes Under The Knife

Last updated : 31 May 2014 By Footy Mad - Editor

It does seem certain that the young Newcastle United defender will need to go under the knife, but a final decision has yet to be made.

This is a crushing blow for the luckless 21-year-old. His loan spell at Dundee United last season was curtailed by a series of injuries.

Good is currently at home in Melbourne where he was set to discuss the way forward with a specialist.

All footballers would prefer to avoid surgery if possible and instead rely on rehab. But he revealed earlier this week that he had “two injuries in one.”

Good said: “I’ll see the specialists then get a second opinion from a hip specialist before speaking to the club and making a call.”
