Look, it’s obviously a big blow for us that Bernard Parker now faces 3-4 months on the sidelines, but we have to see it as a situation of ‘when needs must’.
Bernard, unfortunately, struggled with his ankle for the latter part of last season and, to his credit, soldiered on through the pain, but it’s certainly better for him long-term to have this operation.
Yes, we may have him missing for the start of our campaign, but hopefully he’ll be back to his best when he does return to action.
Will this operation be good for Hond long term?
