Shocking news for Swans defender Alex Johnson who requires a fourth knee reconstruction after his recent LARS surgery caused an infection.
Wow... Poor bloke. LARS is so risky though...
Should have had a good 80 games by now :'( :'(
:( Terrible news.
Really hope the Swans stand by him.
Feel for him, some blokes have no luck at all. Hope he can make a full recovery and get a crack at his dream.
Was wondering why he hadnt had his reco yet, infection.
All that was reported through out the year was that he had to wait before having his next reco
That is just unlucky.

The LARS wasnt the issue, it was an infection.
Really unlucky for him.
AJ finally given the green light for the 4th knee reco

Different cases due to the infection but Menzel's successful return has to fill him with hope to eventually get back.

It sure does, got to feel for a bloke that has to carry around a drip connected to his knee
AJ had his reco yesterday

Man that is just dog.
Shattering news.
Some just never get a break.
You'd have to start thinking about other options now I reckon :-\
Word on the street is that he won't play again just like Lloyd Perris who had 3 knee ops in 2 years
after 10 ops he isnt giving up which is great to hear

I assume you meant 'isn't' giving up?
yep
