IT was a busy day yesterday and we didn’t get the chance to report in Jack Hendry’s post-op Instagram message after he went under the knife in Melbourne following his medial collateral ligament tear on Saturday in the closing stages of Melbourne City’s game against Adelaide United.
@MelbourneCity's Scottish international Jack Hendry suffers serious knee injury in @ALeague loss to @AdelaideUnited. City coach Erick Mombaerts says of the @CelticFC loanee: "I don't know exactly but I think it's a big injury," fears he'll be out a "long time". @AAPNewswire

The on-loan Celtic defender took to Instagram to post a picture of himself giving the thumbs up to well wishers and to give the following update:
“It’s been a very difficult few days for myself was absolutely gutted to injure my knee on Saturday night.
“Happy to say I’ve had my op and hopefully all is well and now on the road to recovery, can’t speak more highly of Melbourne City staff and players and the support they have given me and hopefully can be back on the pitch asap, thanks to everyone that has messaged means a lot and I appreciate it!”
Jack has two more seasons at Celtic after this one so there is plenty of time for him to continue his career in Australia with Melbourne City when he gets back to full fitness. And while he’s doing his rehab, he has the consolation of knowing that he could be in worse places than Melbourne!
The best of luck to the Bhoy, he could certainly do with some as it’s been in short supply for him over the past few years.
