I’m disappointed having to sit out this weekend in Cremona. After speaking with Dr Antonie Martens who performed the surgery in France and Dr Michael McBride who is following my case at home in Belfast, both insist that the tendon graft and skin grafts on my right thumb need a little more time to heal and avoid any set backs. I am doing everything at home to be back at 100% as soon as possible. Thanks to everyone who is standing with me during this tough time
