Xisco Injured - Now There's A Shock!

Last updated : 12 February 2009 By Footy Mad - Editor

The £5.7m striker Xisco scored twice in Monday's 5-0 reserve team win over Wigan before picking up a toe injury in the closing stages.

However, Martins will be hoping it will be third time lucky for his comeback from a hernia operation after failing to make the cut for both the Sunderland game and then the trip to West Brom.

The Nigerian was last in action at Portsmouth on December 14, where he scored in the 3-0 win.

Xisco seems to be following on from previous Spaniards in black and white, Albert Luque and Marcelino.

You had to be bloody quick to spot them two wearing the Toon shirt!
