Title rivals rocked as Cole and Giggs KO’d

THE Premier League’s pace setters were each dealt an injury blow yesterday when it was confirmed that Chelsea’s Ashley Cole and Manchester United’s Ryan Giggs face significant lay-offs.

Indeed, Cole faces a fight to be fit in time for the World Cup finals in South Africa after the Blues defender fractured his ankle in Wednesday night’s 2-1 defeat at Everton.

And United’s have been dealt a Champions League hammer blow with Giggs ruled out for four weeks with a fractured arm.
