Curtis Davies
Ruptured Achilles tendon in 1-1 draw with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Faces seven months on the sidelines.
MON (update April 29): "Curtis is doing really well - he's always bright and chirpy around the training ground and he's genuinely great. If anyone can come back quicker than planned, it will be Curtis. He could be a month ahead in his rehab but Roddy McDonald (club doctor) said just be very careful about people doing well at this minute."
Davies: "I'm gutted to be ruled out at such a vital time, but that's football and you have to accept that. Look at Eduardo last week, a nothing tackle has caused him a really bad leg break and he's out for a while. Me, I was nowhere near anyone and I'm out for a while. That happens in football. Sometimes you get away with things and sometimes you don't."

Stephen O'Halloran
Pulled up during warm-up ahead of Leeds United's League One clash with Swindon.
O'Halloran said: "Unfortunately, it's a bad one. It's my cruciate ligaments. I haven't got the full details as yet, so we'll wait and see what happens over the next few weeks. Unfortunately, it means it's loan over for me, but I'm not going to be all negative about things, you never know what might happen in the future."

Jonathan Hogg
Sustained knee ligament damage in reserves defeat at Tottenham.
Martin O'Neill told www.avfc.co.uk: "It's a really bad injury and I really feel for the boy. He faces a long road back."
Hogg added: "It was a horrible challenge and my leg's a mess. But the manager has told me the club will look after me and I just have to get my head down and work hard to get back from this."
