Fulham's Sidwell set to miss more time

Soccer Betting Lines

02/03/2012 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Fulham midfielder Steve Sidwell is set to spend another spell on the sidelines after sustaining a hernia injury in Wednesday's 1-1 draw with West Bromwich.

The 29-year-old already missed time this season after undergoing hernia surgery, and although the former Reading, Chelsea and Aston Villa man completed the full 90 minutes in Wednesday's match, Fulham boss Martin Jol is fearing another extended absence.

"We had an injury to Steve and he will be out for a long time - for four, five or six weeks," Jol told the league's website. "He had a hernia operation as you know and it is almost the same problem.

"He had an operation and now we have to wait, but we fear he needs another operation."

Sidwell has appeared in 14 league games for the Cottagers so far this term and has played in 41 matches in all competitions since joining from Villa in January 2011.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
