Curbishley: "Craig's injury is not too bad but there's still something niggling there.
"He won't be playing Tuesday. He has had this abdominal strain through the
pre-season and despite the operation which we went off to have in Germany it has come back again.
"We are not very lucky with injuries at the moment. There's (Dean) Ashton,
(Bobby) Zamora, Scott Parker, Julien Fauberdt, Freddie Ljungberg all out. Now Bellamy.
"He could be weeks out or it could be something that can be sorted out quickly but we have two more games now and then have to worry about the international break again - when I always seem to have players trying to come back from injuries."
