Elano out of Wigan trip on Saturday 29/11/2007 14:00

Sven-Goran Eriksson has revealed the Blues will travel to Wigan this weekend without influential midfield star, Elano.

The Brazilian international picked up a hamstring problem at the Carrington Training Centre this morning and the full extent of the injury is yet to be assessed.

During his pre-Wigan press conference this afternoon, Eriksson stated: “Elano is out unfortunately.

“He is taking a scan this afternoon and we don’t know how long he is out for, but he is out for this game. It is a hamstring problem.”

Despite the blow of being without one South American star, Elano’s injury could give a chance to another, with Geovanni poised to make his first Premier League start since the 1-0 derby win over Manchester United as Sven looks to fill the gap.

“That’s something we have to do of course,” he said. “It’s a possibility for Geovanni as well.

“We thought until today that Elano would be available, but we know now that he won’t be available this weekend, unfortunately. That’s a pity of course.

“We know very well what Elano means to us in the last third of the pitch. He and maybe Petrov are involved in most of the goals we are scoring, but that’s life, we have to show we can play good football and make results without Elano.”
