Midfielder injury blow for Dale
Toner sustained the problem during pre-season, but was all set for a return to action before suffering a recurrence of the injury and went under the knife in a bid to cure the problem.[LNB]"It was quite complicated surgery, which entails separating his muscle from his bone," physio Andy Thorpe told the club's official website.[LNB]"We're looking at a lay-off of between 10 to 12 weeks for Ciaran and we're obviously hoping it's not above 10. Some shin splints can last three or four weeks and then can disappear.[LNB]"It's more complicated with Ciaran and that's why he'll be out for another 10 weeks."[LNB]Thorpe also confirmed that long-term absentee Rory McArdle will meet with the surgeon that operated on his dislocated shoulder on Friday to see when he can resume training.[LNB][LNB]
