Delaney out for three weeks

Last updated : 23 February 2006 By Norris Winter

The Wales defender limped out of Sunday's 1-1 FA Cup draw against Manchester City and saw a specialist earlier this week to assess the extent of the damage. The result rules him out of Saturday's trip to the Valley, and next month's trip to Everton, and David O'Leary rued: "He's got ligament damage. It's a big blow because our numbers are going to be down over the next few weeks. Mark's been playing well since December, so it’s a blow to lose him."
