Winston Reid has undergone surgery to repair the troubled ankle that threatens to keep him our of action until the New Year.

The 25-year-old Kiwi sustained the injury during a routine training session at Chadwell Heath at the beginning of the month.

According to whufc.com, Reid "underwent a procedure to repair the syndesmotic ligaments that connect the tibia and fibula in his lower right leg" earlier today, with the patient said to be doing well.

The reigning KUMB.com Player of the Year, Reid had been an ever-present in Sam Allardyce's first team this season. However he now faces up to six weeks' rehabilitation in order to regain full fitness.

Speaking about the injury recently, Reid said: "It was a freak accident, slipping and getting my leg caught under another player - but these things happen. For me personally it's one of the worst things that can happen. It couldn't have happened at a worse time, but life goes on."
