Long Wait Ahead For Stone

United boss Kevin Blackwell has ruled out any hope of having injured winger Steve Stone available soon.
The 34-year-old has yet to make his Leeds debut since arriving in the summer on a free transfer from Portsmouth after suffering an Achilles injury during pre-season training.
Although no firm date has been set for his return, Blackwell does not anticipate him being back in the next two months.
"At his age the rate of tissue regeneration is much slower," said Blackwell.
"The body doesn't heal as quickly so it's a matter of being patient with him. He's getting the best physio care at the club but once he's able to train again he will need to spend time getting his fitness back."He was desperately unlucky to suffer the injury so early on but hopefully he will still play a big part for us this season."
