Laursen: 'back in two weeks'

Last updated : 07 March 2007 By Pancho Villa

The erstwhile Danish international limped off with a knee ligament problem just 55 minutes into his comeback against Fulham at the weekend, raising fears that the former AC Milan man is not yet rid of his injury curse. Yet further examinations have revealed only slight damage. "I've never suffered this type of injury so when I did I thought: 'Here we go again'," said Laursen. "I've been told to have a break from training [but] it's only a minor problem so it's not too bad. I should be back in two weeks." Persistent injury has limited the 29-year-old to just 20 Premiership appearances since his £3m move to Villa Park in summer 2004.
