Shrewsbury striker Aiden O'Brien set for minor hip operation
Shrewsbury Town forward Aiden O'Brien is set to have a minor operation on a hip injury this afternoon.
The forward made a brief seven-minute cameo at Morecambe on the opening day of the season, but he has not featured since for Salop.
London-born O'Brien came through the youth ranks at Millwall, for whom he scored 44 goals in 226 games in all competitions across six seasons.
The 28-year-old arrived on a free transfer after leaving Portsmouth in the summer, signing a two-year contract at Montgomery Waters Meadow.
But he did not play a minute in pre-season as he has battled to recover from a hip problem.
The forward had been to London to see a specialist, and despite several injections, he will now have to go under the knife.
