Alan Injury Not Serious

The former Republic of Ireland player currently on loan from Blackburn last night admitted: "Thankfully the scan showed there is no tear or anything but I can still feel it. It usually takes about 50 hours for the swelling to go down and the bruising to ease so I will see the physio and take it from there.

"I'm hoping I will be okay because I'm desperate to play. I'm really enjoying my football here and I came to play first-team games not sit around injured."
