Yesterday I had an operation to insert 2 metal plates into the front of my head as during my debut I had a nasty head clash- but was able to play on. A scan later showed I had fractured the front of my skull. The op was successful & I should be back in 5 weeks time ⚽ #ReadingFC pic.twitter.com/2XRXFQrSNN
