Olofinjana set for 4 week injury lay-off
Reports from Nigeria suggest that City midfielder Seyi Olofinjana could be out for up to a month.
The midfielder was injured whilst on international duty for Nigeria, meaning the City player missed Saturday`s 3-3 draw with West Ham United. However, reports today have suggested the player, who today praised City`s attacking play compared to that of former club Stoke`s, could now miss impending fixtures against Everton, Manchester City and Arsenal before making a return in December.
The news will come as a blow to Phil Brown, with Olofinjana and Bullard having formed a strong relationship during victory over Stoke, a fixture in which Seyi scored his first City goal since his summer move.
In Olofinjana`s absence, Dean Marney is expected to retain his midfield berth against Everton at the KC tomorrow evening.
Your Comments
Not a timely injury to big Oli - we could do with him in the midfield alongside Jimmy B.
