Dyer Injury Concern

Last updated : 02 October 2005 By Footy Mad - Editor
Kieron Dyer was again missing from the starting line up despite a week that promised much. Souness said the England international would make the team, but more problems seem to dog the player who must be concerned about his future.
Graeme Souness: "We just did not have any real door-openers in there today. We battled and worked hard, but when they did get at us, Shay was in fine form, and we are thankful to Shay for that. We were missing people who can create a bit of magic - like Michael has done in recent weeks, getting goals from nothing.
"If we had half of them available, I would have been looking to win today. We have kept a clean sheet, and that is something to build on. I am not delighted we have got a point today, but given the squad of players we came with, I am not too unhappy. We have now got two weeks to try to get some of these lads back who we are missing, and missing badly. We will be sitting with everything crossed when the international games are being played.
"Kieron Dyer is feeling another part of his hamstring, higher up. That is becoming a real concern for everyone. He is desperate to play, and we are all desperate for him."
