Parker Out

The Sun and The Daily Mail both claim that Scott Parker will miss today's game with an Achilles injury. The Sun even say that Parker will miss the next three games because of the injury.

The source for this news seems to be Thomas Hitzlsperger, who has said,

"We’re missing Scott but I’m optimistic we’ll have a good game. Unfortunately, we miss him and possibly the week after."

The Star however quote Avram Grant saying that Parker could still play,

"It was like before the game against Liverpool when he could not play. In the end he did – and played well. We have to wait."
