Have We Missed Carr?
Last updated : 22 March 2007 By Footy Mad - Editor
Carr has missed the Magpies' last two games with the recurrence of a thigh problem and was also forced to pull out of the Republic of Ireland squad for this weekend's Euro 2008 qualifiers.
Not the most popular figure amongst the fans, but United have been shocking in defence in his absence. Perhaps he could be just what we need to get back to winning ways.
Carr: "All I've done is suffered a slight reaction to the same thigh injury I picked up last month.
"Maybe it was too much to play 90 minutes against Alkmaar in the first leg, so soon after coming back from injury.
"It's been disappointing to miss the last two games, but with the two-week break because of the internationals I've got a bit more time to recover and I think I'll be okay for Manchester City.
"It's been a nightmare season for me, so stop-start and I've not been able to get a run of games under my belt. But I'm hoping to come back in between now and the end of the season and help the lads pick up as many points as possible."
