Given to visit knee specialist

Wed, 23 May 15:13:26 2012

Republic of Ireland keeper Shay Given will travel to London to consult a specialist over his knee injury.

The 36-year-old, who has missed training for the last two days after sustaining the problem, will return to Ireland's Portmarnock base the same day with the camp insisting the visit to a doctor he has used before is purely precautionary.

A Football Association of Ireland spokesman said: "Shay Given will travel to London to visit a knee specialist that he has seen in the past. He will return to Portmarnock in the evening.

"This is purely precautionary and Shay remains fine for the Euros."

  1. I don't blame Brad for wanting regular football,­ Justinio (and he's WAY too good for the Small Heath­ division), but with Shay Given getting creakier by the­ day, I reckon Guzan would probably be in the team more­ than him this season.

  2. To be honest i'm pretty sure Guzan wouldn't­ want to be bench sitting for another season when he­ could get into any championship side and a hand full of­ premier league sides. Good luck to him and lets get­ behind the Villa!!

  3. Ridiculous decision to release Guzan. Any ideas on a­ manager who will be prepared to work with the bare­ bones? It's looking worse by the hour.
