More injury woe for Laursen

Aston Villa defender Martin Laursen's injury problems show no sign of disappearing after it was confirmed that he will be sidelined for two weeks after suffering a hamstring injury during the draw at Fulham.
The Craven Cottage encounter was the Denmark international's first start since early November when he sustained a knee injury.
Laursen said: "It's only a minor problem so it's not too bad. I should be back in two weeks.
"I've been told I have to have a break from training. I've had an ultrasound scan and we went through the full report on Tuesday.
"I've never suffered this type of injury and it's a shame because I felt really sharp before I did it.
"I thought 'here we go again' and I'm surprised it's not more serious because it felt bad when it happened.
"I felt terrible being injured again because it was my first game back after the knee injury and we've got two massive home games coming up with Arsenal and Liverpool.
"Then there is an international week and I was hoping to play for Denmark in our match against Spain.
"But I don't feel too bad now because I can already feel it's getting better again. The pain isn't as bad as before."
Laursen has made only 19 starts for Villa since his transfer from AC Milan almost three years ago.
