Lallana Out For Another 5 Games At Least
The Daily Echo is reporting that Adam Lallana could be out for another month at least.
The Daily Echo has given a fairly comprehensive report on the injury status of Adam Lallana, stating that he does have knee ligament damage, they also report that after a month of rest and treatment he returned to light training this week and that although he could complete simple manoevres like running in a straight line, any twising and turning brought discomfort.
Its therefore a case of more rest and treatment with it being likely that it will be another month before he is able to return to action, whether he will be match fit at that time is another matter, in the next month Saints will play five games culminating in the home match with Man City, that would mean that Lallana will have been missing from the first team for two months by then with the only good thing being that as it stands after the City game Saints have a two week break before they travel to Newcastle, meaning that effectively it could be as long as six weeks before Adam is ready to return to action, if he is not ready for the Toon game it will mean that he will have missed almost exactly three months of action assuming that he is fit to play QPR at the start of March.
ts a fairly comprehensive report from the newspaper suggesting that the information is coming from a source very close to the Club.

Leeds fighting spirit wins through as we beat Swansea to go topLeeds were twice behind in this incredible game at Swansea City, and then seemed to have victory snatched away right at the death. But each time we fought back and our sheer determination finally secured the victory that we needed to finish the weekend on top of the Championship.
Swansea AwaydazeOur visit to Swansea City is on Sunday with a 3pm kick-off, and once again we’re being televised live on Sky Sports, which will be handy for those of us who can’t get to South Wales on a Sunday.
Farke complains bitterly about Firpo suspensionWe had a surprise yesterday morning, as we found out that that Junior Firpo had been given a three match suspension as a result of an incident in the match at Millwall. Our manager has complained about the short notice when he was preparing his team to face QPR, and about the FA’s process itself.
Leeds labour to victory over stubborn QPRWe made hard work of winning this game, but we finally put the match beyond Queens Park Rangers with a second goal deep into injury time, sending the visitors to the bottom of the table.
Farke happy with the performance despite defeatDaniel Farke has claimed that his team were excellent last night, but many others disagree, after we failed to get past an organised defence yet again, and Millwall were able to hang on to all three points.
Millwall AwaydazeOn Wednesday night we can once again look forward to another fun-packed visit to Millwall on Sunday with kick off at 7.45. You’ll find the New Den in a really pleasant part of South-East London, but if you’re not heading this way, there is always the option of watching the game live on Sky Sports plus.
Leeds coast to comprehensive win over PlymouthThe goalscoring was confined to an eight minute period towards the end of the first half, but Leeds were so dominant throughout the entire 90 minutes that Plymouth Argyle didn’t manage a single shot on goal.
Bristol City AwaydazeIt will be an early start if you’re making a day trip to Bristol City on Saturday, as kick-off is at 12.30pm, thanks to our very good friends at Sky Sports. You’ll find Ashton Gate about 2 miles to the south-west of the city centre.
Leeds bring in Guilavogui as experienced backupThe club have made a move to bolster the squad by signing 34-year-old Josuha Guilavogui, who can operate in a number of defensive positions. Subject to obtaining a work permit, he will now be with us until the end of the current season.
