Hughes Looking To Sign Senderos Replacement

Last updated : 12 August 2010 By Francesca Markey

Senderos could be out of action until January due to a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Brede Hangeland and Aaron Hughes are the only other recognised centre-halves at the club after Chris Smalling left for Manchester United earlier this summer. However, both Hangeland and A. Hughes are being targeted by other clubs.

Hughes has not signed anyone so far, ahead of Saturday's opening game against Bolton but has been linked with a move for Benfica defender, Rafik Halliche.
