Aaron Hickey Injuries

'It's a hamstring injury that he picked up on Thursday, and it will be a long one. Unfortunately, he will definitely be out for the rest of this year.' Aaron Hickey and Kevin Schade 'are not in the picture for the next month.' 'Unfortunately, he has had a minor setback. He will be out for a while. I don't have a return date right now. I hope [to see him again this season]. It's not completely torn; he just had an operation on his hamstring.' 'Hickey's setback is in relation to his hamstring.' 'Further down the line...' Hickey, I think I saw him run out on the grass today. I don't expect him to be available before the end of the season, so it's a big positive if he is.' 'He is progressing. Because he's been out for so long, I'm not counting on it. Let's see what happens during the next couple of weeks, but I'm not expecting [a return this season].' 'They are on track to get back quick. Crystal Palace will be touch and go, but I expect them to be available for the first few games of the season.' 'Rico [Henry] and Aaron are the two other closest ones. They are also progressing well. Realistically, before the international break will be difficult for them to be involved in the squad. But let's see. Hickey is back on the grass but is in the first part of some prep and passing.' 'The procedure involved the removal of the previous repair sutures and making a new tendon repair. Now we aim to start afresh and help Aaron return to his previous level of health and performance.'
