Branko Strupar injured again
Branko Strupar is to be rested for tonight's reserve team game against Coventry City.

Strupar who it was rumoured last week may retire because of his injuries, picked up a knock in training this week.
The injury is not said to be causing to many worries as it is only an ankle knock.

Manager John Gregory was not prepared to take any chances with Strupar. He sees him as the man to replace Fabrizio Ravanelli in the game against Leicester City on the 23rd Feb. Ravanelli will miss the game because of a one match suspension picked up after reaching 5 yellow cards.

With only one reserve team game left, funnily enough against Leicester City on Tues 19th Feb, Strupar may be well short of match fitness for the Premiership league meeting against the Foxs.
