Laursen doubt for opener

The Danish defender has been troubled by his knee all summer, after recovering from, well a knee injury that he picked up in a friendly against Northampton last February. Which was his comeback match after, yup you guessed it, a knee injury.

The former AC Milan centre-back looked comfortable in the 2-1 victory over Utrecht on Friday but will delay making a decision on whether he is ready to play against Real Bolton on Saturday. “My knee is still not right,” he said. “I came through the whole game in Holland and it felt alright so I hope it will be ok."
