Back injury sidelines Reid
Tuesday, 17 October 2006 13:48Republic of Ireland midfielder Steven Reid faces four months on the sidelines after being diagnosed with a stress fracture of the back.
Reid suffered the injury during Ireland's Euro 2008 qualifying defeat to Germany in Stuttgart at the start of September and has not kicked a ball since.
The 25-year-old had been to see a chiropractor in the hope of clearing up the problem but Reid will now not return until the middle of February at the earliest.
