Stephen O'Halloran gone on loan to Leeds

He's gone straight into the Leeds starting 11 at Swindon today. Sheehan was an unused sub.

from Leeds' official site review of the game: http://www.leedsunited.com/page/News...253784,00.html

Worryingly, new loan signing Steve O'Halloran, who was named in the original starting line-up, limped out of the warm-up 20 minutes before kick-off, leaving the boss with a late dilemma. Fellow left-back Alan Sheehan, who wasn't named in the squad, emerged from the tunnel to join the warm-up.

That prompted a late change to the Leeds team with Frazer Richardson stepping into the starting line-up, and Sheehan being added to the subs bench.

So what's the story with Sheehan, another guy who was 'highly rated' , poor form or not ready yet?

Saw this on Villa's website today: http://www.avfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page...251446,00.html
Still no injury update on O'Halloran on Leeds' website. There's no midweek game, so their next game is at home against Bournemouth on saturday, so hopefully he can shake off the knock he picked up and start that game.

He did his cruciate ligaments. He has returned to Villa.
What a shame!

SSN say a minimum of 3 months out. Their estimated minimum time out is way too short. With good progress he will be out for 6 or 7 months before he can resume normal training.

Agreed, Bojinov at Man City picked up the same injury in August and has only started turning out for the reserves in recent weeks to get back to full fitness. O'Halloran won't appear again this season.
