Riley To Have Shoulder Operation In May


Hereford FC defender Martin Riley is to have an operation on his shoulder next May.

He is back in the team after a second spell out.

How is your shoulder?

"Good but it's one of them," said Riley in his post match interview.

"It felt great last time when I was back, but it ended up popping out again.

"I'm strapping it up this time, Georges (Physio) has given a proper shoulder strapping to keep it locked in to the socket.

"But I need an operation to be honest, I've decided to wait until the end of the season to get the operation and just risk it popping out again just to get back on the pitch really and help the team.

"It's one of them. It might never go again but it might pop out next week.

"But I'm confident, it feels good, it feels strong, the strapping is helping so fingers crossed it stays in.

"I'll have the operation at the end of the season. The recovery time is two to three months so if I get it done at the end of the season I'll be back for next year.

"It's a bit of a gamble but if it pops out I've got the operation booked in anyway so fingers crossed it stays in."
