00:33undergoing surgery tomorrow to repair a torn ucl in his thumb a source has confirmed so this was
00:40reported elsewhere initially but locally being confirmed by nikki jubbala again emmanuel forbes
00:47to have surgery on the ucl in his thumb no timetable given on his return so we can get
00:54into this in more detail coming up in just a few minutes danny but your initial reaction i just feel
