Scan Reveals No Major Injury Concern

After fears of a lengthy lay-off, Kieron Dyer has recently been given a scan which has wiped out those fears. This is a huge boost for the England International and it is believed he could yet make the weekend clash at Blackburn.

The England midfield player was a definate no-go for the Blackburn match before today, having suffered a back injury. The injury was thought to be a major one, which was going to keep him out of action for a while.

But thankfully a scan revealed today that there are no major problems. Apparently Dyer could yet make this weekends game, where he would again play alongside Gary Speed in centre midfield. But with quality replacement such as Hugo Viana and Jermaine Jenas he is unlikely to be risked.

Both Viana and Jenas are dying for a game and you could say their quality warrents one. It will be a tough battle between the two, but expect Hugo to get his chance.
