I can't say too much about what happened with George McCartney because I do not know the full story and it is none of my business anyway,

/> Birmingham game on 16 October, but I don't know whether that is possible, it is too early to say, but that is the target.

The hernia has been fixed now and I don't want to break it again, so it would be pointless playing on Sunday if it puts me back again and I'd be out even longer,

Hopefully it will not be too long before I'm back.

It was something I needed done. I felt it go in the second half of the Chelsea game at the weekend,

I am sure it would have been easy to get out of the Malta trip as it was a friendly match but everyone wanted to be there.
