Had a knock then landed awkwardly. Gaffer said it wasn't as bad as last one, will know when they can assess it when the swelling dies down in 48 hours.
if he has an injured foot, just say so, showing two (monkey) feet at different angles is not a valid excuse.
His ankle does not look good tho.
feckin weird looking feet.
Steve they are not Kermies!
thanks Kap, realise it was oh andys now, they still look weird, not as weird as Dick Vans obviously, if he asks if they are shaved, would not want to see his,
They even knew which was the suspected ankle, it took us some time after this to get back into the game. Church eventualy started winning headers and also improved his hold up play towards end of the game.
Chris Powell says Yann Kermorgant will continue to be assessed over the next 48 hours to determine the extent of his latest injury setback.
The French striker returned to the starting line-up against Wigan Athletic on Sunday, but fell awkwardly on his previously-troublesome ankle within the opening quarter of an hour.
Despite a valiant effort to play on, Kermorgant was unable to continue and was replaced by Marvin Sordell before half-time to make it a frustrating afternoon on a personal level as well as for Charlton management and supporters.
Having walked around on crutches post-match as a precautionary measure, Powell is awaiting a further assessment although remains hopeful of a positive outcome.
“We have to give it 48 hours for the swelling to calm down but [Yann] himself has said to me it doesn't feel as bad as last time,” he said, following the 0-0 draw against the FA Cup holders.
“So hopefully he'll be available sooner rather than later.”
Powell added: “The last time [against Burnley] he clearly wasn't ready. On Sunday he was ready.
“He landed awkwardly and it was just one of those things. He's so good in the air and it was just when he was coming down.
“We're going to have to strengthen that area and make sure he is 100 per cent because he was playing well.
“It's a shame. He's a key player, as everyone knows, in both boxes. Hopefully we'll see him back out on the pitch as soon as possible.”
Richard Wood was another Charlton player to leave the pitch in pain on Sunday as he also aggravated a previous problem.
The imposing centre-back was visibly limping as he left the ground Powell admits, while frustrating to see a blossoming defensive partnership disrupted, he was quietly impressed by the showing of replacement Dorian Dervite.
“I think it's just a recurrence of his dead leg which he suffered last week at Blackburn and soldiered on,” he said, of Wood.
“He hasn't done hardly any training this week, just on Friday and Saturday just to make sure he was OK and then he took another bang on it.
“I felt for the hour he was on he was very good and he's struck up a good partnership with Michael Morrison. It's a shame just when we see a bit of light we get knocked again with enforced changes but the players that came on, Marvin [Sordell] and Dorian acquitted themselves well.”
