Injuries and Suspensions
Listen to the interview with Rachel on ShrewsWorld > world.shrewsburytown.com
Town head of physiotherapy Rachel Greenley brings you the latest from the treatment room on Monday 31st March.
Andy Cooke picked up a soreness to his right knee after getting a whack to the leg in Saturday's game. This won't keep him out for very long and I'd hope that he would be training by the end of the week and there is no damage to the knee ligaments or anything like that.
Kelvin Langmead has a slight patella tendon problem in his knee which we are not 100% what is causing so he is seeing specialist Mr Rees at Oswestry today. Once we've e got the full diagnosis then we will be able to have a better idea of the problem.
David Hunt recovered from his shoulder problem and trained for a couple of days at the end of last week. Subsequently he's developed a hip problem which there is a possibility that he picked this up at the same time that he injured his shoulder. This was only picked up once he started working hard in training, we think we know what the problem is but it will take a couple of weeks to clear up.

MRI Scan - Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 3D X-ray which is used to show ligament, tendon, other soft tissue and bone. Doesn't use radiation so is safer.
Adductor muscle group - is made up of three muscles that run down the inside of the thigh,along with a couple of other muscles are called the muscles of the groin. So when a player strains a groin muscle it is usually one of these muscles which are being referred to.
Medial Ligament - runs down the inner part of your knee
Meniscus - luner shaped fibro cartilage which site on top of the tibia (shin) bone.
Arthroscopic - surgery that consists of two small holes into the joint, one where a small camera is inserted to view the inside , and the other to insert surgical instruments.
