Heskey wants quick comeback

Emile Heskey has announced that he hopes to make a swift recovery from his injury after suffering an ankle injury in the 5-3 victory over Blackburn at the weekend. Heskey thinks he can return within 2 weeks.

Heskey told Sky Sports: "It's not too bad and it's actually better than we'd feared.

"I had a scan straight after I came off to make sure it wasn't broken or anything. It's better than I thought, so hopefully in a week or so it will be okay.

"Fulham away is probably a bit too early for me. Aston Villa we'll have a look at that and see how it goes from there."
