Last week Walsall Football Club midfielder Sam Mantom underwent a "scope", which is also known as a knee arthroscopy, on his troublesome knee injury that has restricted the Player of the Season to just a handful of substitute appearances this campaign.
The scope revealed no damage to the ligaments, and Stourbridge-born Mantom was treated for swelling on his cartilage with an injection, and had his knee put back into a brace.
Walsall manager Dean Smith spoke to the press about the news, he told the Walsall Advertiser; “Sam had a scope put in and it found a little bit of swelling near the cartilage. So he injected that while he was there.
“He’s in a brace for two weeks, which I think he comes out of next week, then hopefully we’ll see where it goes from there.
“Everything was intact, the main ligaments were all intact, which is really pleasing. Hopefully it’s a trivial one where the swelling has occurred and he can move on from that.
