Maynard had surgery to repair his torn anterior cruciate ligament very shortly after he was injured at Millwall in the middle of September. He was up and about on crutches by mid October but is a long, long way off resuming any sort of training other than gym benchwork. There is a rumour that although he had resigned himself to being out for the season, the progress he's making gives hope that he will return to light training before Easter. Match fitness and really stretching it is another matter altogether. Hope Malky isn't relying on him for the final push.
