Bramble's injury KODec 4 2006

 

 

By Alan Oliver, The Evening Chronicle

 

 

Titus Bramble is out of Newcastle United's first Premiership match with Reading at St James' Park on Wednesday.

 

The in-form central defender picked up a calf injury in Thursday's goalless UEFA Cup draw against Eintracht Frankfurt and has joined United's never-ending injury list.

 

For with Kieron Dyer unlikely to figure on Wednesday night, Glenn Roeder will find himself without no fewer than NINE players against Steve Coppell's brave young side - Michael Owen, Shola Ameobi, Scott Parker, Damien Duff, Craig Moore, Steve Harper, Tim Krul and now Dyer and Bramble.

 

But there was at least some much-needed good news for Roeder at the training ground today, with full-backs Stephen Carr and Celestine Babayaro expected to return against Reading after their respective toe and groin injuries.

 

But the absence of Bramble against Reading's man-of-the-moment Kevin Doyle will be a big blow to United, after the 25-year-old central defender has put his early-season hesitancy behind him and turned in some truly barnstorming performances in recent games.

 

 

Roeder told me today: "Titus got a kick on the calf in Germany on Thursday night and, while there was some stiffness on Friday, it did not seem as though there was going to be a problem.

 

 

"After their exertions and efforts lately, I gave the first-team squad the weekend off and Titus went back home to Ipswich.

 

 

"But overnight on Friday his calf blew up to twice its normal size and he did the sensible thing by coming straight back to Newcastle so that Derek Wright could have a look at it.

 

 

"And by doing so we are hoping that it will prevent Titus from being sidelined for too long."

 

 

So again Roeder finds himself virtually down to the bare bones against a Reading team who are all but taking the Premiership by storm.

 

 

The gash on Dyer's leg the little midfielder picked up when he crashed into the hoardings in the win against Portsmouth is so bad that he is unlikely to be risked on Wednesday night.

 

 

But at least Roeder will have Seppe Rossi available again, and the Italian Under-21 international will be involved in some way against the Royals.

I think Dyer has to be risked given our current position and forthcoming fixtures. It's not like he's got a muscle problem, it's just a gash (albeit a nasty one) and risking his shouldn't mean he'll be out for months again if it goes wrong.

Carr however shouldn't be risked. Or should I say the team shouldn't be risked by playing that fuckwit.

Play Rammage in the centre and lazy arse leftback and keep Nobby in right back.

Re Dyer - if he's not running properly because of the gash in his leg, then it opens up the possibility of his hamstring going. You can't run normally if you've got a gash that's healing on the side of your thigh.

Aye I suppose you could be right.

Wooooooo, we're saved.

Can't way to see him come on in the 85th minute to turn the game around.
