http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Dunn-c10475 to miss Fulham clash
David Dunn, the Blackburn midfielder, has been sidelined for at least a week because of a tear in his hip muscle. That means the 31-year-old will miss out on the trip to Fulham in the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385’ Premier League clash against them.
Dunn already missed out on the weekend fixture against Aston Villa, which the Rovers lost 4-1. He will once again be watching from the sidelines as his side travel to Craven Cottage to take on Fulham in a must win Premier League fixture.
An official statement from a club spokesman confirmed Dunn’s absence in the upcoming fixture, he said, “David has a small tear and it will take a few days for it to settle down, ruling him out of this week's action.”
At 14th position in the English Premier League table with 32 points, Blackburn Rovers go into the Fulham match with another important player, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Nelsen-c31992. The defender picked up a booking in the last fixture against Aston Villa and will serve
a one match suspension.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hatem-Ben-Arfa-c15884’s return delayed
Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew confirmed that Hatem Ben Arfa’s return, which was scheduled for this week, has been delayed. The French international was expected to return to face Wolverhampton Wanderers after recovering from his injury.
However, the 23-year-old who picked up the injury in October, has not fully recovered from it and is now expected to be out until May. That means the youngster will be out for this season, leaving Pardew frustrated.
However, Pardew insisted he did not plan on rushing the rehabilitation process. He said while speaking to reporters, “I am going to protect him. I can't just throw him in. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952 game sound optimistic, even though I'm sure, in his own mind, he has set
that as his target.”
The Newcastle boss revealed he was hopeful Arfa would eventually recover, he continued, “But he is still very much in the process of recovery and he has a long road back. It may even take us into May. To break both bones in the shin is tough, not just physically,
but mentally, too.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fraizer-Campbell-c13904 to return soon
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce revealed he believed Fraizer Campbell was close to making a return for the Black Cats. The 23 year old striker has been out of action since August after he damaged a knee ligament.
However, according to the Sunderland manager the young striker could be on the verge of making a comeback soon, within the upcoming week. If that is the case then Campbell could feature for the Black Cats against Liverpool at the Stadium of Light.
Steve Bruce said while talking to the media, he said, “Fraizer looks magnificent. I have never seen anybody recover from a knee injury as quickly... We expect him to play in a week.”
