Pearson: Harper will return
igel Pearson insists Hull must put James Harper's injury aside and move on - despite it being a big setback to his plans.[LNB] Harper will be sidelined for around six weeks after suffering a broken foot during the pre-season friendly defeat of North Ferriby on Wednesday night.[LNB]The 29-year-old midfielder managed just 27 minutes of his first appearance in City colours before he was struck by the injury at Church Road.[LNB]"It's bad news. It's a broken metatarsal and we're looking at six weeks," Pearson told the Hull Daily Mail. "It's a shame for James first and foremost. I feel for him more than anything else.[LNB]"He's been great around the place and he was looking forward to the start of the season but injuries are part and parcel of football. Sometimes you have no control over it but it's happened and we have to move on.[LNB]"He'll miss the first couple of weeks but James will concentrate on getting himself fit and still play a big part in the season."
