Kanoute- 'No fracture'

Last updated : 20 October 2003 By Jonathan Blain

The latest news on Freddie Kanoute's ankle, injured in the last of minute of Sunday's win at Leicester City is that it is not as bad as first feared. Caretaker boss David Pleat said that the striker has not broken anything which points to probable ligament damage, not unlike the injury sustained to Robbie Keane in September. Keane was out for three games after picking up the injury playing for the Republic of Ireland, but it is not yet known how long Kanoute will be on the sidelines for.
