Paul Ince has confirmed that Roque Santa Cruz has suffered a recurrence of the Achilles injury he suffered in pre-season but is hopeful that the striker will return to action after the international break.
Santa Cruz pulled up in the first half of Saturday’s defeat at Upton Park and was duly subbed.
“He will be out for probably ten days to two weeks,” revealed Ince.
With the international break upon us, it would seem that Santa Cruz has a chance of making a return for the Arsenal game on September 13. He’ll clearly be a doubt though and that might be enough to see plenty of his fantasy owners ship him out with plenty of decent alternatives around.
