Robbie Brady reflects on rocky road back to full fitness

Only now, after the guts of a year on the sidelines, is Robbie Brady able to see the funny side of the serious knee injury he sustained on club duty last December.

Brady reveals that he had been experiencing symptoms of tendonitis in his knee for a couple of years before that, what he describes almost dismissively as a “bit of a burning sensation in it, day in day out — but it’s manageable and a lot of players are playing with it now”.
