I actually played on."After the game, I went to see the doctor.
When I got back to Liverpool I went out to train but, after about 20 minutes, I had to stop because the pain was so bad."They sent me for an MRI scan and that showed my ACL was badly damaged. During a training session at Liverpool, I went to run back and my knee twisted.
I heard a big ‘boom’ noise."I knew it was the same injury. Others say maybe the operation didn’t go so well.“The second time, I decided to have the surgery done in Germany by the specialist who operates on all the national team players."I have to say a big thank you to Liverpool for respecting my wishes on that.
