Coventry City youngster Josh Ruffels has been in London having surgery.
The midfielder, who will be starting the second year of a pro deal next season, missed the latter part of the U18's season due to a groin problem but is hoping that the operation in London will cure the problem for good and he can start next season afresh.
Ruffels, who hails from Oxford, made two subtitute appearances in the 2011/2012 season for City's first team.
