That's what they said about Lee Majors legs. But never did he ask how long it was going to take. City manager Peter Taylor though may just be asking that question today (ok so he probably ain't cos he's buggered off to Albania with Sven) with news that Savage's chances of making the game against Charlton is 50/50.

Savage has already had to pull out of the Welsh squad and has been given his marching orders to get back to Filbert Street for some intense therapy on his knee in an attempt to get him fit for Sunday's game.

Midassoccer reports Savage as saying, "It's actually getting better, but I can't straighten the knee without pain and it's not good enough for me to be considered for joining up with Wales," said Savage.

"We play Charlton away on Sunday and I'd say I'm 50-50 for that match."

Meanwhile over at the Izzet camp........

The press seem to be far more interested with the prospect of Muzzy and his brother having to play each other. Of course they forget to tell you that 'iccle Kemmi is currently on loan over at Colchester.

Still Izzet seems happy enough just to concentrate on his own recovery saying, “The injury is responding to treatment but there is still some way to go yet. I come from London and I keep in touch with Kemal on a regular basis. I'd love to be involved on Sunday but we shall have to see how things progress over the next few days.”
