Mavies to have Knee Scan

MARK Davies will be sent for scans on a knee injury that forced him out of the 1-0 victory over Peterborough United at the Reebok.

The midfielder – who today signed a two-year extension to his contract to keep him at Wanderers until 2017 – hobbled off midway through the first half after turning awkwardly while chasing down Peterborough defender Danny Swanson.

He did walk off the field, and returned briefly to play the next two minutes, before finally succumbing to the injury.

Dougie Freedman confirmed that the 25-year-old will be sent to hospital tomorrow (Wednesday) for tests to assess the extent of the problem.

Davies has only recently returned from three months on the sidelines after shoulder surgery on ligament damage picked up in a game against Huddersfield Town in December.

Injury prone.

Weed.

Real shame, fingers crossed he will be OK, we need him!

At least he's extended with us until 2017!

bloody hope its not serious. He was walking and running slightly before he went off so hopefully not too bad. We missed him last night after he went off.

Hate to doubt but when wheater did his ligaments he came back on until half time running and turning

Dont think we are half as good with Mavies not in the team and it showed us lastnight, Hes the one who runs at defenders and always on edge of the box to fire home. Such as shame 3 wins in 5 and 2 draws and then he gets injured, Without him I really cant see us doing so well.

He's a decent player but irreplaceable? No. We just have to adapt our team shape, and bring Holden or Kamara into the mix.

Worried about Holden too. Not back to where he was yet. We need Medo to step up soon, before Dougie entertains thoughts of bringing Andrews back.

It's quite clear that Mavies is the spark in our team, without him we looked dull, and didn't really run at em. Hope he gets back soon.

I thought Medo did okay for the brief period when he came on against Hull. He will be getting fitter by the day.

What do these players do in training? You'd have to take a sledgehammer to my body to injure me and all I do is train at the gym for 75 minutes every day. Surely paid professionals should be fitter and stronger than me?

Ponces.

Don't tempt me.

Another quality riposte!

Mavies doing well in the last couple of games but earlier in the season he vanished from games as he often does. Having said that he is our most skilled midfielder so good to have him as an option.

Let's not get too despondent. Eagles could make a decent return and play a blinder.

Mavies was non existant against Forest, seems to get the best out of him in home games than away games.
I see Eagles wasn't even on the bench last night, maybe something that Eagles story earlier in the week.
