Fish Out For 3 Weeks

Last updated : 01 March 2002 By David Robson

The South African missed last weekend's trip to Leeds after the problem flared up during training on Saturday, leaving Jon Fortune to partner Jorge Costa successfully at Elland Road.

Curbishley has Steve Brown available as a central defensive option for this weekend's visit by Chelsea, while long-term absentee Richard Rufus has now played two and a half reserve games and could return before Fish.
