Emile Heskey will not be able to take part in England’s friendly match against Switzerland at the Wembley stadium. The match will be held ion 6 February. The Wigan Athletic striker was sidelined during Wigan’s 1-0 victory over West Ham United as he picked up a nerve injury. Now, it is clear that Heskey has already been out of England’s first match under their new coach Fabio Capello.
AFP reported:
Capello is due to name his trimmed-down squad for the Wembley clash on Saturday night but Latics manager Steve Bruce confirmed Heskey would not be able to link up with the group.
Bruce said: "He's got a nerve problem, I think. It's just a continuation of the big fella being out for three or four months because he is getting niggles, pulls and strains all the time."
England coach has already named the 23-men squad for the friendly match against Switzerland. Earlier, he was named 30-men squad in which he kept Emile Heskey. So, it is a bad luck for the striker that he missed out the match. However, England has some more friendly matches in the coming months. So, Heskey should not put his head down. Rather, he should keep himself fit so that Capello can reconsider him in future.
