Stone to play on

Leeds United caretaker manager John Carver is happy for Steve Stone to carry on playing despite the veteran midfielder's injury problems.
The former Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa and Portsmouth star has been struggling with a hernia problem but an operation on the injury was cancelled this week.
"Over the past few weeks we've been careful with Steve, but at this moment in time there's no real problem," Carver told United's official website.
"We'll continue to look after him to make sure he's right.
"When I played I had a similar operation, but some players can get through it whereas others need the op straight away.
"It might be a case of waiting until Christmas and seeing how things stand then."
