Broken foot means he will be out longer than expected

The injury to Chris Killen has hit a setback. His broken foot meant that he was expected to be out until the New Year, but doctors have recently advised that his absence could go as late as the end of February. Iain Dowie want’s the injury cured once and for all and said, “Chris is still a young player, so he can’t afford to come back too soon and risk breaking down again. It’s a huge shame both for him and for us. He had a terrific game against Port Vale a few weeks ago and was starting to hit some form.”
