Town boss Roy Keane says the club will have a clearer idea of how long David Norris will be out injured later this week. A report yesterday claimed that the former Plymouth man would be out of action for up to five months due to the knee problem he sustained at Coventry on Sunday.

Keane told the club site: "He's a tough boy, so we know it's a sore one because of the fact that he came off.

"But there's still swelling there. We will do some more tests and have an idea by the weekend." Norris collided with team-mate Jon Stead during the second half of the 2-1 defeat at the Ricoh Arena.

Rozz added 10:19 - Aug 12 He did seem to be coming on, noticed alot more effort and impact on the game with norris during preseason. This is a shame, but maybe this means the 5 week figure could be wrong, hopefully for the better.
