Has been told he doesn't need surgery on his knee.
From the BBC:
Leeds striker Richard Cresswell has been told he does not require surgery on his knee, reports BBC Radio Leeds. Cresswell had been warned an operation would be needed to rectify the cartilage problem he aggravated after initial surgery last December.
But doctors have now given the all-clear and Cresswell featured late on in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Watford.
"I saw the specialist and he's put that to bed," he said. "I don't need an operation and I felt fine playing."
Speaking after Tuesday's game Cresswell insisted "it's back to normal for me" and said he hoped to be in the squad for Saturday's trip to his former club Leicester City.

Did you go Eddie? He set up the second goal didn't he. What I want to know is, is he having ANY sort of treatment, of has the knee problem cured itself??

Yep, got a season ticket in the kop Bill, He crossed the ball in for Healy to have a shot, which was blocked and it fell to Blake to slam home. There was no way he was missing that one!! The Kop went mental, a bit like the good old days! I'm not sure if Cressy is having any treatment for his knee. I would have thought that he is maybe having some kind of injections like Hulsey has been having for his hip. Classic Leeds Avatars...We need to convince some Leeds fans to change theirs me thinks?

yep we do.
Where do you sit in the Kop? On the rare occasions I get to go to ER that's where I always sit!!! Does Hulsey still need his op? I think if Cressy is going to be ok we should get Hulse sorted asap. Cressy has been playing v well recently it seems.

My seat is Row T, Seat 108. It's pretty much directly behind the goal and about 3/4 of the way up the stand if that makes any sense. Good view and we are too far back for the poncey stewards to force us to sit down!
I reckon Hulsey will battle on til the end of the season. I hope that both he and Cressy can stick it out because if they go for an operation now there is only a minimal chance that they will be back for the play offs (if we are in them anyway). Cressy has been very impressive of late, always works his balls off and knows how to head a ball

Quality. I normally sit a bit further down, about 10-15 rows from the front. You'll be one of those nutters that I always turn round to see cheering and singing all game then won't you!!!!

Ha ha.....yeah, it is pretty nutty around where i am. The guys behind me are worse but its a great atmosphere where I stand....there are some funny blokes at Leeds games.
There is also a guy near me who has his bald head covered in Leeds tattoos. If he says its Sunday, then it's Sunday!!!

I agree mate, some of the things that are said in there would you get banged up normally! I'll keep an eye out for you. Are you thinking about going to ER before the end of the season?
