Top news on defender

ReidWinston Reid looks a definite starter for the match against Tottenham after the international break.

We updated the central defender’s situation last night after early reports suggested he could be out for between four to six weeks.

We were told by club sources that the estimated lengthy break probably well wide of the mark and since then we have analysed comments by Slaven Bilic in his press conference .

The manager commented, when asked, that the player had suffered a grade one hamstring tear which is particularly good news in these crcumstances.

For these take only a few days to heal and we have been are assured again this morning as a result that Winston will be back for the key clash against Spurs at White Hart Lane  on November 19.
