There is good news for fellow midfielder Ed Upson, with Bobby adding: "
"Nicky can and is willing to play with the calf as it is, only giving him minor discomfort. However, our worry is that if we keep pushing Nicky through, it will gradually get worse and we may not have the luxury of an international break to give us the extra time for the injections to be successful." Ed is making good progress from his hamstring injury and is currently doing end stage outdoor rehab."
