Six Weeks Out For Sammy

Last updated : 06 October 2009 By Covsupport News Service
Coventry City and Northern Ireland will be without Sammy Clingan for up to six weeks.

The midfielder, who loves celebrating his goals with the City support, sustained a broken toe in the 1-1 draw versus Leicester City after being tackled by DJ Campbell on Saturday and an x-ray has revealed that his third toe is damaged.

"We're very disappointed because he's been scoring some great goals for us," said City boss Chris Coleman to the CT.

"He loves his football and he's devastated. "I have spoken to him and he is gutted that he is going to miss his match with Northern Ireland but also four or five games for his club.

"We are going to miss him because he is one of those players who has a good presence and aura on the field, even when he is not playing his best football."

Clingan has scored in three of his last four matches with super free kicks against Preston and Leicester and a great finish against Watford.
