Oxygen equipment 'aiding Premier League star's recovery'
Top-level footballers looking to recover from injuries may want to
buy oxygen in an attempt to speed up the process.
And one star to have been utilising oxygen equipment for that purpose is Damien Duff, the Herald reports.
The Republic of Ireland international withdrew from a recent set of matches with his country and headed back to Fulham, his Premier League team, to receive care for an injury.
Duff has been in an oxygen tent while at the London-based club in a bid to return to the pitch - for both domestic and international competitions - as soon as possible.
It was hoped he would be fit to play in a matter of days, rather than weeks or months.
He is not the only footballer in England's top flight to have felt the benefits of oxygen equipment this season, as Manchester City defender Wayne Bridge has also used an oxygen tent to help him overcome injury.
