Alan Judge has tweeted he goes into hospital today to have the screws removed from his leg designed to aid recovery.

The Brentford midfielder has not kicked a ball since Tractor Boy Luke Hyams of Ipswich ploughed through Judgey on April 9 - 129 days ago.

He suffered a fracture of his lower leg and was stretchered off after a long delay in which he received oxygen in considerable distress.

Boss Dean Smith felt Hyam, who was booked before being later sent off, should have walked for the challenge.

It ruined the Bees hero's summer after he was ruled out of a Republic of Ireland berth at Euro 2016; the rest of the season, and everything since.

Team-mate Nico Yennaris said Bees were dedicating Saturday's first match against Ipswich since Judge's moment of misery, and another bit of good news follows the club's first win of the season.
