Early season injury worries for Somerset
Richard Walsh - 15 April 2002

Somerset coach Kevin Shine has some early season injury headaches with Rob Turner still suffering from a persistent foot injury, Joe Tucker who has a stress fracture and had his left ankle put in plaster, and now Steffan Jones who injured his ankle before the start of play at Millfield today.

Regarding Steffan Jones the coach told me: "Steffan suffered an ankle injury, but he should be fit to play in the first championship match of the season at Hove next week against Sussex."

Earlier this evening wicket-keeper batsman Rob Turner the 2002 beneficiary, who has missed out of the early season friendlies told me: "Hopefully I should be fit to play in the one day friendly against Hampshire at Taunton on Wednesday."
