Powell faces longer lay-off

Last updated : 17 February 2004 By Nik Taylor

Darren Powell has been hit with another setback in his bid to recover from long-term injury.

The influential defender has suffered a further reaction to the torn thigh muscle that has kept him out of first-team action since October.

Powell had returned to training earlier this month and had been hoping to take part in the reserve match against Luton on Wednesday night. However, his comeback is now likely to be delayed once again.
