JODIE Burrage will miss the next “few months” of the season after undergoing wrist surgery.

The British number two, schooled in Bournemouth, revealed the news on Instagram, posting a picture from her hospital bed with her left arm in a sling.

Burrage suffered the injury prior to a first-round qualifying loss in San Diego a fortnight ago and took the difficult decision to go under the knife.

“Little update: I don’t know where to start,” wrote Burrage.

“My first practice in San Diego, I hit one backhand and felt something pop in my left wrist. After advice from multiple doctors and surgeons, surgery was the best option.

“Making the decision to get my 4th surgery was brutal…accepting it will take time.

“Everything went well and the recovery process can start.

“It won’t be easy but I’ve got people around me who I know will help get me through it. Thank you to everyone who continues to support me and hopefully see you in a few months.”

The 24-year-old, who has been battling ankle issues, is currently ranked 86th, only one place below her career high, but will now tumble down the standings and is likely to miss the grass-court season.
