This was what Chris Solly told Bromley Addicks last night …. Some more things that I remember from last night is that he went to speak to Bows a few weeks back. Bow said that Matthews is currently playing well and that the times he’s been left out the squad, it’s because he wants another attacking option on the bench. Nothing personal, it’s just football. Solly has been fit for a while and feeling really good. He said that new physio Danny Murphy has come in and since he’s managed to do things in the gym and in training that he hasn’t been able to do for about 7-8 years. Danny Murphy was Gareth Bale’s personal physio at Real Madrid but left as it looked as though he’d be going to China. He said he’s the best physio that he’s ever known and it’s allowed Sols to get fit and actually believes his knee is responding and feeling better than it has done for years. The initial injury started when he was 17, walking back to the building after training, rolling the ball under his foot and his knee locked and torn his cartilage. He needed an operation to reattach the cartilage but the same thing happened again not too long after. He’s since had two further operations which has meant they trimmed his cartilage down, so he has known for much of his career he would be different to everyone else. He can’t train like everyone else and it was always about making sure he was ready for the game on a Saturday.
