Glenn Loovens limped off at Highbury on Saturday and neal Ardley aslso suffered muscle problems. There were early indications Loovens could be out for some time but Dave Jones remains hopeful that along with Willie Boland and Paul Parry he may be able to have these players available sooner rather than later.
City's next game is this Saturday against Burnley. Jones will leave it as late as possible before deciding if any will be fit to face The Clarets.
