DeMerit feared for his future
The American centre-half required surgery after suffering an infection to his cornea in September but he has made a remarkable recovery and was back in the starting line-up for Saturday's defeat by Derby.[LNB]"There were initial concerns I might never play again which is definitely no fun to hear," he said.[LNB]"There were concerns immediately I would have permanent blurred vision - which I would have if I hadn't had the transplant surgery.[LNB]"I was fortunate to have the best surgeons to do those types of surgeries and to make sure they go to plan.[LNB]"Of course it's always a risk to go into surgery but if I was going to play again I had to take those risks so I was more than happy to do so."[LNB][LNB]
