On the mend

Good news everyone, Alan Judge appears to be recovering from his double-leg break like an absolute champ.

The Dubliner’s Euro 2016 dreams were destroyed after a challenge from Ipswich’s Luke Hyam left him with a fractured tibia and fibula.

Judge, who’s stellar form for Brentford this campaign saw him earn a spot in the Championship team of the year, was ruled out of the rest of the season as well as the tournament in France with the injury.

Double-leg breaks are a nasty business and Judge is expected to be out of action until October at the earliest. However, the Irish man’s recovery is well under way.

Judge posted a video of himself walking without the use of crutches to Twitter on Monday. They may be just a few small steps, but they symbolise a huge leap in his long road back to full fitness.
