Scottish Mag 3 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Newcastle winger Damien Duff has revealed his injury torment left him in tears. The former Blackburn and Chelsea star has undergone two foot operations after suffering a dislocation in the middle of his foot in April. Duff is back in light training after recovering from the problem and the Republic of Ireland international has admitted he was shocked by the extent of his injury Describing his injury, Duff told the club's official website: "It was devastating. "You should have seen me when I first found out in the surgeon's office, I broke down in tears. "It was a dislocation in the middle of my foot and the surgeon said he had never seen it on a footballer before and that was a shock." Duff is delighted to be back in training, but he is refusing to set a target for his return to first team action. "It's great to be back training with the lads and I've started my second week," added Duff. "You take things for granted and being out for so long has made me appreciate things an awful lot more. "It's too soon to pinpoint a game. It was a horrendous injury. I was the only footballer to ever get it. "It's a case of taking things one day at a time because I've had my foot up all summer. "We'll be looking at a couple of reserve games first but hopefully it won't be too long before I'm back." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I keep forgetting Duff is in our squad... I saw him at Haddrick's Mill roundabout about 3 months ago and it was only then I remembered he was a Toon player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 16600 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 If he can come back and get some decent form under him Duff is the sort of player we need at the moment. BUT I cant see it happening to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
