Today's Scottish Gossip column on BBC had a bit with Lennon saying he isn't worried about Tierney failing a medical, so I clicked on the link.....
Lennon said Tierney still feels pain when he runs, but (in his expert opinion) doesn't think that should effect a medical.
“It is one of these sort of ongoing conditions that causes discomfort and he was in a lot of discomfort towards the end of last season, to the point where he was struggling to get out of bed."
“It’s a question of trying to let that settle. He is back out on the grass now, which is a good sign.
“I’d like to think in the next two or three weeks he will be maybe not playing, but back into full training anyway.”
I hope he stays. Lennon is saying best case scenario for them is that he might resume full training a week after the season has already started, which would still leave him a few weeks away from actually playing a game. There also appears to be a very high chance that the injury will continue to return and cause him further problems.
.....and who's shelling out £25m for that?
