Captain out until the New Year

November 19 2002

Curtis Fleming

Curtis Fleming has been ruled out of returning to first team action until January 2003, after suffering a setback.

Fleming last played for the first team in October and since then has been suffering from a niggling knee injury.

A trip to a specialist has told him the bad news that he could be facing another six weeks on the sidelines.

This will come as a blow to Trevor Francis, especially as he is short of full-backs for the visit of Grimsby on Saturday.

Jamie Smith is still yet to return to any kind of action since his knee injury earlier in March this year.
