Head of Medical and Sports Science Stijn Vandenbroucke issues an update from the Chadwell Heath Treatment Room
The positive news is that all of the players who went away on international and testimonial duty have returned in good condition.
With regard to the other players, you can read and watch an in-depth update regarding Andy Carroll’s recovery here.
Andy is currently working on his rehab following knee surgery in warm-weather conditions in Dubai, as this is the perfect stage of his recovery to do so. He will not have a summer break this year as he will be working hard on his rehab during that period.
Following the hamstring injury he suffered against Chelsea on 4 March, Winston Reid is fit and is training hard to be ready for Saturday’s Barclays Premier League fixture at Leicester City.
Enner Valencia’s laceration in his big toe that he suffered in an accident at his home on 10 March has healed. He started to train in his boots again on an individual basis on Monday. We are re-evaluating Enner’s situation on a daily basis.
James Tomkins and Doneil Henry are continuing with their rehabilitation from shoulder and hamstring surgery. Doneil has resumed walking normally this week, which is the next step in his rehab and something he is really happy about.
