ian1964 10,447 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Novo's Wait NACHO NOVO has to wait for the swelling to go down on his damaged ankle before a scan will ascertain the damage but Rangers are still anticipating a three-week absence. The Spanish striker hurt his ankle in a challenge with Danny Grainger in the first half of Saturday's game with Dundee United and then suffered another knock just before half-time. Nacho Novo gets treatmentHe had to hobble out of the match in some discomfort and there is still quite a lot of swelling. The Ibrox medical team are now waiting for this to recede before they can learn the full extent of the damage. Boss Walter Smith said today: "The ankle was quite badly sprained so we will need to wait for the swelling to go down before he is able to have it scanned. "The first indications were that there was nothing broken but we will have to wait for things to settle down before we know how serious it is. "But I would expect it to be three weeks before he is back playing again." That being the case, it will be the Kilmarnock game on February 21 at the earliest before Novo is available again. Meanwhile, Mo Edu was in full training today and will feature at some point in Wednesday's glamour friendly with AC Milan 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
