Scotts on Mend - Ipswich Town News
Scotts Barron and Mitchell, both 19, are both recuperating after their recent surgery. Barron had a hernia operation, while Mitchell went under the knife after damaging knee ligaments towards the end of last season.
Physio Dave Williams told the club site that Barron shouldn't miss any of Town's preparations for 2005/06: "The operation went well and we will gradually build up Scott's exercise over the next week or so. All things being well he should be on schedule to take part in the full pre-season programme."
Mitchell will be out of his cast on June 30th and Williams says he will be out of action for longer than Barron: "We will spend a couple of weeks in the gym getting his movement back so it is likely to be at least mid-July before he is running again.
"Realistically we are looking at August before he can start football training, so he will be a few weeks behind the other players."
