Fresh injury woes for Pearson

24 April 2011 20:00
Hull manager Nigel Pearson is facing an injury crisis ahead of his side's Easter Monday clash with leaders QPR. Liam Rosenior and Robert Koren picked up medial ligament and hamstring injuries respectively during Saturday's 4-2 defeat to Middlesbrough and will miss out. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Vito Mannone has suffered a recurrence of a shoulder problem and will also be on the treatment table. "We've got a few problems going into Monday," said Pearson. "Liam Rosenior has picked up a medial ligament injury and it could be the end of his season, while Robert Koren's got a hamstring problem and with Vito Mannone it's his shoulder again." Player-coach Nick Barmby, who has been sidelined for the last five matches due to a calf strain, remains sidelines.
