Flu For Bell

Last updated : 29 July 2009 By Covsupport News Service
Coventry City manager Chris Coleman has said that David Bell has flu like symptoms which have caused him to miss the trip.

A number of media sources claimed that the winger missed Saturday's draw at Huddersfield Town due to an ankle injury and there were rumours of an operation being penciled in on August 8th.

Belly has been ill and he will probably be back with us in three or four days with a bit of luck," said Chris Coleman to the CT.

"I think it is swine flu actually, I am not too sure, but he's okay. We have had to obviously separate him from the players because we don't want the flu going through the group of players like wildfire, so we kept him at home over the weekend but he will hopefully be all right in the next three to four days.


"That's been the story of the pre-season. We have had illness and injuries and yet we still haven't been beaten yet, and that's a credit to the players."
