and live on Freeview channel 276
Bruce revealed after yesterday’s 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers that the £40million striker is carrying a groin injury.

We lost Dwight,and Jo is basically lame, but he carried on. He should have come off, but we couldn’t really make the substitution because of what had happened the week before – and the threat of going down to 10 men.”
