Injury for Pools forward

12 March 2010 09:37
WITH Denis Behan's season as good as over, Chris Turner is already looking to the next campaign for his striker.[LNB] The Irishman damaged ankle ligaments in Tuesday's reserve loss at Rotherham.[LNB] It's the same ankle he suffered ligament damage to in November, an injury that kept him out for eight weeks.[LNB] With his latest blow ruling him out for up to six weeks, the striker would only be available for the final two games of the campaign.[LNB] James Brown is now recovered from knee trouble, although Turner is likely to stick with the same XI from last week's win over Southend for tomorrow's game at Yeovil.[LNB] Everyone bar Denis is available,'' he said. He's out four to six weeks and that's football, we have to move on.[LNB] Now we have James back and ready to start games, so it's one in, one out.[LNB] It was going to be a difficult season for Denis. He came in after playing through the Irish season and arrived with a buzz, started well, then hit a low and just as he was getting back he was injured and out six to eight weeks.[LNB] He just got going again, we have been working him extra in the afternoons to get him back on form again and now he's going to be out right to the end of the season.[LNB] I hope he has a good rest in the summer and comes back in July ready for a strong season.'' He added: With Denis missing, James is the next one in line to go on, either up front or wide. He is ready to start, if we need him.'' Adam Boyd and Roy O'- Donovan will continue up front tomorrow after the latter's hat-trick last week.[LNB] Our away results have been poor, but in a lot of games we have played well and could have won or drew,'' said Turner.[LNB] Now we have someone up front, or a pairing up front, that will score goals and that is all we have been lacking.''[LNB]
