Injuries Mount

Last updated : 28 February 2007 By Kevin Markey

Armando Sa is the latest player on the casualty list after more hamstring trouble following his appearance as a 57th-minute substitute at Birmingham.

Gary Kelly, Alan Thompson, Shaun Derry and Tore Andre Flo are out with respective ankle, calf, Achilles tendon and foot injuries.

"There is no good news coming out of the treatment room," said Wise.

"Kelly, Thompson, Derry and Flo are all still out and now Ian Westlake needs to see a specialist about his groin problem.

"We are hoping an injection is all that might be needed, rather than surgery, but he needs to see a specialist first.

"Then, I send on Armando Sa as a substitute against Birmingham and he pulls a hamstring.

"So, in terms of squad numbers, we are down to the bare bones and will have to work with what is at our disposal.

"But I have been in situations like this before.

"Remember, I played part of my career at Wimbledon where we had to battle and scrap for everything."
