Liddell out for three months
Last updated : 21 December 2007 By The Chairman
Andy Liddell is likely to be out for another three months after it has been confirmed that he will be undergoing surgery on his Achilles in the New Year. 34 year old Liddell went off before the kick-off when he got injured in the warm up before the FA Cup First Round victory at Doncaster. He had returned to training again but broke down on Wednesday.
Manager John Sheridan told Latics World, "He's got a problem and needs the operation. We'll miss him and Sean Gregan in the long run, and it's unfortunate we're going to be without them for a while. Lids is a big loss, but there's nothing we can do about it and hopefully he'll get back to full fitness sooner rather than later."
