Gobern ruled out for 3 Months

Huddersfield midfielder Oscar Gobern will be out for up to three months after undergoing surgery on an ankle injury that just hasn't cleared up as first hoped.

The 21-year-old started his only game this season at Preston North End in the Capital One Cup, but has since been on the sidelines due to the lingering issue with his right ankle.

Town's Physio James Haycock told the club's official website:

'We've tried to do all we can to avoid putting Oscar through surgery by remedying the issue through strengthening, but he reached the running stage and it was clear that the ankle wouldn't settle down.

'Oscar underwent a procedure on his right ankle which basically has tightened all around the joints surrounding the troublesome ligament using wires.

'He should be on crutches for a maximum of one week before we start to step up his rehabilitation, with an aim to get him back available for selection between eight and 12 weeks.'

Gobern is a player who when fit certainly can add something to the team, however with the way everyone is performing at present he would certainly find it difficult to dislodge anyone from the stating eleven, so perhaps this has come at a good time for all.

Get well soon Oscar
