9 months, strewth, that`s a bad one. Don`t like to see that. Doubt whether Defoe will get a look in mate. Roy probably thinks he`s still in the U.S.
Shame for Welbeck looks like injuries are destined to plague him throughout his career. As or Defoe in he England squad I think he'd need another couple to get injured for him to be a realistic contender for a place at the euros.
