Moore should be back in January

Luke Moore's shoulder injury looks set to keep him out of action for only half of the time originally thought.

It was thought Moore would miss the rest of the season after a recurrence of the shoulder problem that has haunted him since he was 17.

However, physio Alan Smith reckons Moore should be ready to play again by January, which should save us dipping into the transfer market for further short-term cover after signing Chris Sutton yesterday.
