Royals strike star Yann Kermorgant is beginning rehabilitation with our medical team after yesterday undergoing surgery. Kermorgant, who scored 19 goals for the club last season, will miss the start of the new campaign as a result of this surgery.

However, our talismanic Frenchman has his sights firmly set on a return to first team action as soon as possible as he begins the recovery process under the guidance of Head Physiotherapist Jon Urwin.

Urwin said, “Yann underwent successful hip and groin surgery yesterday morning and together we are now looking at a rehabilitation process which will stretch across weeks rather than months.”

“Now the surgery is complete I am totally focussed on getting fit again,” Kermorgant said. “I’m ready to work hard and I know the fantastic medical team that we have here at the club will do everything they can to help me get back out there with my teammates as soon as possible.”
