Trundle Fit And Ready

Trundle Fit, Ready And Relieved

Lee Trundle delivered the news that Swansea fans wanted to hear by saying he has been told there is nothing to worry about and he should take his place in the squad for the visit of Rushden and Diamonds on Saturday.

Trudle missed the 1-0 victory at Wycombe last Saturday with a recurrence of an old injury after scoring 3 times in his 5 appearances so far this season. There were glimpses of the old Trundle against Kidderminster the weekend before and Swans fans were ready for their star man to take the division apart again with his showboating skills.

Trundle was sent to a specialist on Monday but was given the all clear and he spoke to the Western Mail about his relief for this

"I've been told there's nothing to worry about which is a huge relief,

"I was really worried I was going to be told I would be out again. It would have been the last thing I would have wanted, especially after getting back on the scoresheet last week.

"I had a lot of problems last year and I started the season late because of the same thing, so to get knocked back after just getting in the swing of things would have been a real blow.

"To be told everything's OK is a real bonus. It's such a relief to know I can concentrate on playing again.

"The specialist told me the specific type of injury means tiredness around the knee can creep in," he said. "It was basically the amount of games over a short space of time. It was more a case of aches and pains than anything serious.

"It wasn't a case of a specific point on the knee more of a general pain in the surrounding area," said Trundle. "I was hopeful there wouldn't be any complications but you do start to have doubts.

"We both agreed there would be no point in risking it for one game and ending up making it worse. I'd rather rest it for one game and know I'd be back.

"They had a great result without me and I know the boys are buzzing after getting a win at the league leaders," he said.

"Hopefully we can carry the run on against Rushden. We're not conceding goals which is really important because the players we have in our squad means we're always going to score a few. We've taken our time to gel but it's paying dividends now."

Watch out Rushden?
