Paul Weller - out injured
Shortly afterwards the club told us that Paul Weller was missing the trip as he continues to recover from a knee operation. It is common knowledge that Weller had a knee operation after the end of last season but our sources have suggested that the injury that has kept Weller out of this week’s tournament is a new injury.

There have been a number of suggestions made but we have been told that Paul has now had the injury immobilised and there is a possibility that he has suffered a hairline fracture. If that is the case it would be bad news after a 2001/02 season that saw him hit with a number of injuries preventing him from getting a long run in the side.

Ian Cox was missing yesterday and observant supporters were saying he wasn’t involved in the public training session. However according to the club Coxy is not injured and he is part of the squad in the Isle of Man.
