Speaking exclusively to www.barnsleyfc.co.uk, Richard said: "The only thing we know for definite at this moment in time is that Heinz has definitely torn his lateral meniscus. It is a tear in the shape of a bucket handle but the MRI scan yesterday was inconclusive about everything else. "Heinz will go this afternoon to have an arthroscopy today and the surgeon will go in and sort out his lateral meniscus. He will also have a look at everything else in there to make sure that there is no further damage. He will sort out whatever needs doing. Article continues Advertisement "The best possible case scenario is that Heinz has only injured his lateral meniscus and that would keep him out for six to eight weeks. However it all depends on what the surgeon finds in there and the scans were inconclusive. "The worst case scenario is an injury lay off for between nine and twelve months if there is serious damage to the cruciate ligament. "The surgeon will go in and have a look around before sorting out whatever needs to be fixed. We will have to wait and see what he finds in there".
Keeping to medical terminology well 'It is a tear in the shape of a bucket handle' I'm just glad it's not in the shape of a tea pot lid or whisk
