Boss Roy Keane had good and bad news after Mark Kennedy and Carlos Edwards underwent scans on the injuries they suffered in the 3-1 win at Middlesbrough on Saturday. Edwards will be back sooner than expected having picked up a groin problem, but Kennedy will be sidelined for longer than had been hoped with his hamstring strain.
Keane said: "Kennedy is out for two or three weeks. The news on Carlos is that he’s the least serious one, the reverse of what we thought, so he might be out for 10 days, but you can forget about the weekend.”
Meanwhile, skipper Jon Walters reported sick with a virus on Tuesday morning, which was why he missed the Exeter game, while Troy Brown will under go a scan on the injury he suffered during the second half on Wednesday.
Keane also confirmed that Tamás Priskin will remain with the Hungary squad playing England at Wembley on Wednesday, despite suffering an ankle injury in the Boro game.
