Clarke's Season Is Over

Last updated : 24 April 2004 By Mad Reporter
The Cottagers skipper has undergone an operation on a calf injury and will miss the final four games of the season.

"Rather than prolonging the problem and risking his availability for pre-season, Lee has undergone exploratory surgery and his treatment will be subject to the results of the operation," club physio Jason Palmer told the club's official website

"This obviously means he will not play a part in the remainder of the season.

"We have decided this is the best approach in order to get rid of the condition in the long run."
