Contrary to some reports, Town striker Alan Lee has not suffered a repeat of hamstring injury while away with the Republic of Ireland.

Lee is part of the 29 man squad which was named Steve Staunton to take part in tonight’s game against Chile, but some reports have suggested that Lee has been dropped from the squad because a hamstring problem, this is not the case.     

 

Town physio Dave Williams: “Alan was never going to play anyway but it's got nothing to do with his hamstring.

 

“He's had a groin problem that has troubled him on and off since he joined us and it's something that we have been monitoring.

 

“I have been talking to the Irish physio staff and Alan will have an injection which will hopefully settle it down and then he will have two weeks' complete rest.

 

“After that we may take him to see a specialist to see if there is an underlying problem but at this stage it's a case of seeing if the injection does the trick.”
