Julian Speroni is set for a scan this week after suffering from a sore leg against Coventry City on Saturday.

Defender Jose Fonte was forced to take goal-kicks in order to protect the keeper from further injury but the Argentine still managed to keep his seventh clean sheet of the season, meaning he is already half way to beating the 13 he managed last year.

Manager Neil Warnock did not think there was anything too serious about the injury but decided to send the 29-year-old for a scan to be on the safe side.

“He’s just been a little bit sore on the inside of his leg and there was no point taking any risk,” he said.

“He will have a scan this week to make certain there is nothing too wrong.”
