When Danny Fox had to pull out of Scotland's game against Serbia it started alarm bells ringing around St Mary's
Danny Fox has spoken about the groin injury that ruled him out of a game for his country on Saturday, the injury that has been dogging him for a year flared up again forcing his withdrawal from the squad.
He is going to have an injection in it on Monday, something that he isn't looking forward to, he conceded on Soccer AM on Saturday, but although he feels that he wont be fit to rejoin the Scotland squad for their game against Macedonia on Tuesday, he is hopeful that he will be fit for the trip to Arsenal next Saturday.
This will be a relief to Nigel Adkins as the only other option he perhaps has at left back if Fox was not to be fit would be Luke Shaw, although Shaw is highly rated and has reportably been the subject of bids from both Arsenal themselves and Chelsea, the Emirates is not the place to throw in a youngster whose total first team experience is 13 minutes against a poor Coventry side in the FA Cup plus a game against League One opposition in Stevenage, Shaw will be a decent player, but many an exciting prospect has been ruined by being played before they are ready because of high expectation, although ironically I would say if he did play, Shaw could be in direct opposition to former Saint Theo Walcott, who I would say, career's been if not ruined affected negatively by Arsene Wenger's failure to give him enough games.
