Jermain Defoe has been ruled out for three weeks.
While, press reports on Friday suggested the returning striker may have broken a metatarsal in training, potentially ruling him out for the rest of the season, it is now understood those reports were inaccurate and he is likely to only be sidelined with a foot injury for three weeks.
Better news, but still a bad blow. This couldn’t have come at a worst time, we desperatly need points (therefore goals obviously). Quite simply unless we make a signing before the end of the transfer window we’re going to have to rely on Darren Bent (best we make a signing).
On top of this Sky Sports News have reportedthat Portsmouth are in talks with Tottenham over a £7million deal for Giovani dos Santos. Surely, Spurs need him now more than ever despite the f act that he hasn’t found form or fitness since arriving from Barcelona last summer. Having said that are Portmsouth really likely to splash out £7mln on an unproven talent who only cost £4mln last year? Most likely a rubbish rumour.
