Thorne and Weston to miss out?

Last updated : 01 March 2004 By Michael Morris
City were without Peter Thorne at West Ham, the striker is suffering from a bruised foot. At the time of writing it's unsure if he will be available for tomorrows home game with Coventry but it's thought unlikely.

Also likely to be out is Rhys Weston. He is reported to have suffered a cartilage injury in a crunching tackle with Nigel Reo Coker at Upton Park on Saturday. Weston was carried away on a stretcher and was replaced by Spencer Prior.

Gary Croft has completed his three match suspension and should be a ready made replacement for Rhys.

Gavin Gordon had an appendicitis scare last week and missed several days of training. The news explains his absence from a strong reserve team that beat Cheltenham at Whaddon Rd.

Gordon is expected to reume training this week.
