The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

For anyone who hasn't seen the OWS (http://www.afcdiamonds.com/afc-rd-1-footballcv-reds-1-a), Birdy's injury is not as serious as was first feared. He has suffered a soft tissue injury with NO broken bones, and although it's too early to say when he will be back playing again, the timescale will probably (hopefully) be a matter of weeks rather than months.

Danny remained in good spirits and I'm told was updating his Facebook status on his phone while still laying on the pitch!

Thank goodness for that. Danny Bird has been absolutely fantastic and I hope he makes a swift and full recovery so that we can see him back on the pitch soon.
