More Agony For Hutch

Last updated : 28 February 2007 By Covsupport

Don Hutchison is expected to be out for another six weeks after another op was needed on his ankle. The midfielder whose contract expires in the summer had been hoping for a return to playing in February but the ankle did not heal as expected and a minor operation was required to wash out the problem.

Iain Dowie told the CT: "Don has been to see a specialist because there hasn't quite been the healing that we would have wanted there. "I think he is having a little wash out op so it will probably be four to six weeks, it might be less, but he has been fantastic around the place. "He really has bought in to what we are about and it is just a shame that he is not available because he does provide that creativity and I know he played a massive part in the turnaround last year."
