It's a big blow for us but a bigger blow for him. I just hope it isn't that serious.

Once they have got preliminary discussions out of the way they will narrow it down because they want to do it before the World Cup.
again chasing defenders ended finish four game goal goals great past players point run second
Once again we ended up chasing the game - but their first goal infuriated me. Their second goal was a great run and finish - but from our point of view, you can't let players go past four defenders like that. The two goals we conceded were avoidable.

As far as I'm concerned Darren has just got to keep in Eriksson's face. I don't mean by scoring every week or getting to 20 goals, he just has to perform well and try to improve his game. There are going to be games when he isn't going to score so he has to contribute more in other ways. If he can do that it is only going to enhance his position.
