Linfield boss David Healy thankful for support following surgery

David Healy has thanked everyone for their support after undergoing surgery on Thursday.

The Linfield boss was taken to hospital after suffering a fall at his home on Wednesday night.

Healy - whose Blues narrowly lost out to Legia Warsaw in the Champions League on Tuesday - is now recovering at home.

“I want to thank everyone for their very kind messages over the past few days," Northern Ireland's record goalscorer told Linfield 's website.

"There have been so many messages from players, staff, directors, supporters, our former players, as well as managers and coaches of other clubs.

"There have been so many that it’s impossible to reply to them all individually but they have all meant a lot to me.

"I want to thank the medical professionals for all they did for me during and after my surgery in hospital and I’m now thankfully able to continue my recovery at home.

"I’m looking forward to getting back to work in the near future but for now I want everyone who sent me messages to know that they were greatly appreciated.”

Linfield's defeat to Legia means they now go into the second qualifying round of the Europa League.

The draw for that will be held on August 31 with the games played on September 17.
