Hendrie adds to injury woes

Last updated : 29 September 2005 By Norris Winter

"Lee will have keyhole surgery on Friday," Tubbs told the club website. "It has come so quickly after losing Aaron Hughes but these things happen and we just have to get on with it." That will not stop him peppering his post-match press conferences with references to the club’s woes. Hendrie and Hughes are the latest setbacks to the club, who also have Martin Laursen, Kevin Phillips and Patrik Berger on the injury list.

It caps a disappointing start to the season for Hendrie, who was suspended for the first three games of the new campaign after his dismissal against Tamworth in pre-season, and has been unable to break into the side.
