Intervju med Scotland: Swanseas skyttekung var skadad hela förra säsongen
Jason Scotland vann League Ones skytteliga i överlägsen stil och gjorde under säsongen sammanlagt 29 mål, cuperna inräknade. Debutsäsongen var alltså minst sagt lyckad. Nu berättar Scotland att han inte varit helt skadefri överhuvudtaget sedan han anslöt till Swansea för ett år sedan:
"I picked up a niggle on my right side last pre-season - somehow I caught the turf when shooting and that's how it all started. It gradually got worse as time wore on and I knew there was a problem there."
"It did have an effect on my performances as I would have to use my left foot more than I would have liked. My right side would be hurting so I would shift the ball to the other side so I could shoot without pain."
"I think I would have scored even more goals if I was fully fit. I received treatment but it was a case of trying to get through the matches the best I could."
"That's why I needed the surgery in the summer and now I'm pain free I can hopefully do even better for Swansea."
De skadade Jason Scotland och Angel Rangel under gårdagens match mot Peralada.
"There's even more to come from me now. At times my form must have suffered from the stomach problem. It may have looked like I wasn't trying but I was in a bit of discomfort so I couldn't exert myself too much."
"Then I dislocated my toe which was painful but I managed to get through that with painkilling jabs."
"There was no chance I would miss the promotion party after everything I put myself through. The pain was never going to stop me finishing the season although I'd be lying if I said I wasn't counting down the days to summer."
"Hopefully I can make a name for myself at Swansea and continue scoring goals. Trundle was a big hero at this club and a few years down the line I might be as popular as he was. I just go out and do my thing and score the goals. I always back my ability and I think I can score quite a few goals in the Championship."
Vi får hoppas att allt nu löser sig och att Jason kan vara med och konkurrera om anfallsplatserna redan innan säsongen börjar.
