Daquin setback for Pars
08 Aug 2006 - 10:31:21
Dunfermline winger Freddie Daquin is facing two months on the sidelines after breaking his right cheekbone.
The 28-year-old suffered the fracture during last weekend's 1-0 loss at Falkirk, adding to the Pars' extensive injury problems.
Scott Thomson, Darren Young, Aaron Labonte, Scott Morrison, Jim McIntyre and Noel Whelan have already been ruled out of next weekend's clash with Rangers, while Greg Shields, Phil McGuire and Mark Burchill are all struggling to recover from minor fitness complaints in time for the match.
Meanwhile, Pars boss Jim Leishman has handed a trial to striker Craig Read, who has been released by Coventry City.
