Injury blow for Skuse

15 March 2011 16:30
Bristol City midfielder Cole Skuse is set for a prolonged spell on the sidelines following X-rays on his fractured toe. Last season`s player of the year has been out since January 25, having played through the pain barrier for several matches. Initially hoping to be back in training in the coming days, Skuse went for further scans on Monday and the news was not good. "The specialists say the toe hasn`t healed as fast as they would have expected and hoped," City boss Keith Millen told the club`s official website. "It is likely he will still be out for another two or three weeks, which is another injury blow for us."
