He told the club's official website: "I have been ever-present so far this season, which will obviously stop now. I have had a good run and in myself I feel fitter now than I have for several seasons.

While manager Paul Jewell was full of support for his goalkeeper. He added: "Chris has been a revelation since coming here, he has been magnificent. He has a tremendous presence in the box and I stand by my comments that he is potentially the best English goalkeeper in the country. We wish him all a very speedy recovery and hope to have him back soon."
Mike Pollitt is set to resume goalkeeping duties for the re-arranged fixture with Watford next week. Hopefully he won't have been too affected by his spell in Burnley.
