Thompson injury a worry for O’Neill

MARTIN O’NEILL has been given an injury fright with the news that Alan Thompson is to have a scan on his left calf.

The in-form England hopeful recovered from a hamstring problem only to sustain another injury against Aberdeen on Saturday.

With so many crucial games on the horizon, domestically and in Europe, this latest visit to the treatment room will come as a major concern to both the midfielder and O’Neill.
