Hornets: Bonnot sent for major medical tests

3:25pm Friday 16th February 2001

WATFORD have sent Alex Bonnot to Lilleshall for an in-depth investigation, taking medical tests as opposed to fitness tests.

Manager Graham Taylor said: "He has had so many different types of injuries. It is so frustrating. He has one injury one week and a different one the next. This season he has had six different types of injuries and has played just two and a half reserve games.

"We feel there might be something in his body causing this continual breakdown, with different injuries."

Kennedy had a succession of problems with hamstring and knee problems which "eventually finished at the heel".

But, as Taylor pointed out, that trouble was finally pin-pointed and the the problems were contained in one leg.

"In Alex's case, it is all over the place and each one totally different," said Taylor.

"When you think about it, he was in the team for the last match of last season, against Coventry, and did well. Yet after one week of pre-season training, he has been injured. But, if you watched the two and a half reserve games he has played, you would ask yourself why he is not in the first team."
