Injury nightmare for Healy

REPUBLIC of Ireland international Colin Healy suffered another injury nightmare yesterday when he broke his leg while training with his club, Sunderland.

Cork native Healy had been out of action for nine months after fracturing his leg against Coventry at the end of December 2003 and had only returned to training a week ago.

The club's official website stated that the double fracture - in exactly the same place as the initial injury - was not the result of a tackle or challenge.
