And it came to the point where I thought I had to see someone and someone had to help me out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;First of all, I just went down to the local hospital to see if I could get it checked out. But they said the lead time was a few weeks. Obviously, going on holiday, I didn&#8217;t want to go away with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;So I had to phone the club and ask for help. They put me in contact with someone to go get it checked out. Had a scan there and he said &#8216;alright we&#8217;ll give you your results in a bit&#8217;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;As I&#8217;ve left to get in my car, the doctor from\u00a0Nottingham Forest\u00a0has called me and said: &#8216;Go and pack a bag.
