Why are certain injuries like Flavour of the Month? I hadn't even heard of an 'abductor tear' before, but now Torres, Benayoun and someone else have all had them. Before it was metatarsal's, where just about everyone broke at least two a week..

Ledley King is still struggling with a knee injury which has ruled him out since the summer and the Spurs star is unlikely to return before Christmas.
The London Evening Standard revealed two months ago that the Tottenham captain had suffered a setback and wouldn't play before November - it is now looking to be in the New Year at the earliest

Its not sounding too good for Leds.

Tottenham sporting director Damien Comolli insists Ledley King is close to a first-team return

The captain has not played this season because of a knee injury but Comolli said: "Ledley has not had a setback. Everything is going as it should and he will return when he and Juande Ramos feel he is ready."

BALE UPDATE

Quote:

Gareth Bale will undergo an examination of his right foot under anaesthesia to determine the severity of his sprained ligament.

The Wales international was forced off with the injury in our fixture against Birmingham City and he is likely to be sidelined for at least three months as a result.

"Following a review of all the scans Gareth will now undergo an examination under anaesthesia to determine the damage sustained to the foot," said Sporting Director Damien Comolli.

"Even if the examination reveals that his foot is stable the decision has been taken to bring him back slowly to ensure he does not get a repeat of the injury or suffers any further damage.

"Gareth is obviously disappointed to be sidelined for this length of time but he is still young and we have to do what is best for him in the long-run."

At least this means ramos may have to buy a left back and left mid so when bale does return we have quality cover.

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez hopes to be able to call on the services of central defender Daniel Agger once again in the near future.

The 23-year-old has been sidelined since breaking a metatarsal in mid-September, but is nearing a first-team return.

"He is very close but I can't say which game it will be," Benitez told the Reds' official website. "We want to go slowly and be sure that he will be okay.

"He changed the boots the last time and I was talking with the doctor and they told me he's okay.

"He is kicking the ball much better than before because he had some problems. With training it was okay, but with boots he had some problems.

"It depends on where you put your weight in the foot, so the sole of the boots needs to change. It depends if he is comfortable.

"Now with the new boots he's been using the ball and maybe in the next days we should see a very good situation with him."

The Danish defender has made 53 appearances for Liverpool since moving to Anfield from Brondby almost two years ago.

Well thank God for that.

Apparently Bale is out for the season now

and Ekotto may never play again, he is in a real bad way.

Boris · Posted: Sun Dec 30, 2007 4:27 pm

Is that Assou-Ekotto? What happened to him? Confused

Big Jono · Posted: Sun Dec 30, 2007 4:43 pm

Yep thats him, not sure what the problem is but thats the rumour this morning.

YoBBo · Posted: Sun Dec 30, 2007 4:48 pm

Bale is a massive dissapointment.

Benoit is actually a decent player he has just been plauged by injury which is also dissapointing.

We need cover for Lee then. Ema nuelso looks like the one who we want for cover or maybe even Lee will be cover for him.

Big Jono · Posted: Sun Dec 30, 2007 5:09 pm

Aye, I reckon Lee as cover for Urby.

Flipper · Posted: Tue Jan 01, 2008 6:25 pm

Big Jono · Posted: Tue Jan 01, 2008 6:48 pm
