Jermaine Johnson’s (pictured) 9 minute return to action at Port Vale has cast doubts about the seriousness of his recovery. The reason for his quick withdrawal was that he had aggravated the same injury which he sustained way back against Accrington Stanley. Latics Physio Lee Nobes played down the seriousness by saying, “It's not too serious. He himself is saying it's nowhere near like he did the last one. It's a bit sore but we're going to get a precautionary scan just to check him out, and we're taking him to see a specialist just to get a second opinion on it. But it's not particularly worrying me too much. It happened when he went to shoot and caught his studs in the ground. I've got a feeling, but I'll be more certain when I've had the scan, that it might be in a different place to the first one because it was lower down on the ligament on the first one.”
