Merson out for 5 weeks

Last Updated : 04-Jan-2006 by
Paul Merson will be out of action for 5 weeks. This news will come as a double blow to Merson. He has recently said that he cannot wait to get back into the team. Merson feels his presence on the field is needed at the moment because the midfield unit is under performing.

He is suffering from an achillies injury which requires 5 weeks complete rest. If the achillies does not get the rest then it runs the risk of snapping.
