Darius Henderson out for four months 29 July 2010

Striker Darius Henderson has been ruled out of action for at least four months with a serious hamstring injury.

The 28-year-old suffered the problem during last season's local derby against Wednesday at Hillsborough in April.

After seeing a specialist, it has been revealed that part of that hamstring has come off the bone.

Henderson will now undergo an operation. Last season, the Lane striker made 35 appearances, scoring 12 goals. Source: BBC Sport

Blackwell takes time on defenders 28 July 2010

Manager Kevin Blackwell stressed patience is the key as his search for two more defenders continues.

Blackwell said: "We know we need a recognised right-back adding to the squad. 'Kozzy' (Rob Kozluk) showed what he can do, filling in at left-back, but we need more depth.

"Looking at so many options in recent games shows just how patient I'm trying to be on the next couple of defensive signings.

"I could sign hundreds for the sake of it, but I'm intent on finding the right ones because if I do I think we will have a decent squad." Source: TEAMTalk
