Purse has ankle operation

Last updated : 31 December 2002 By Brian Cartlidge
Purse has had the ankle joint ‘flushed out’ after failing to shake off the injury that has kept him out of the side since the game at Fulham earlier this month.

“I’ve had a couple of scans on the ankle that haven’t really shown up much but the Friday before the Charlton Athletic game I got a whack on it and it didn’t settle down,” said Purse.

“They will flush the joint out and have a look inside and, if nothing serious is found, I will be three or four weeks away from coming back.

“I’ve tried to leave it and rest it in between games for a long time now so at least I will have an exact timescale to work from, knowing it’s okay,” he added.
