Igoe Out For An Extra 3 Weeks

Last updated : 29 November 2003 By Tim
Igoe broke his scaphoid bone in his wrist after falling down his stairs at home when playing with his children.

Igoe was first told he would be out for 6-8 weeks, and at the time declared he would be back in 6 weeks.

He decided to take matters into his own hands and removed the plaster on his wrist himself before it had healed fully. He has now had to have a new plaster fitted which will be his recover time back by another three weeks.

Club physio Dick Mackey said: "You can understand his impatience with the wrist, but he has to realise that there is a long term target for injuries of this type.

It just needs the appropriate time to heal and with a new plaster we hope he will be back in action in approximately three weeks."
