Alan Smith, "Ole's example should give everyone a lift. He is going to be out for such a long time but he still comes in every morning with his spirits high and puts in a tremendous amount of work.

"Nobody likes being injured, but sometimes you have to accept it. I didn't do myself any good trying to rush back to play against Chelsea. It probably set me back a few days. Now I am taking each day as it comes - and while I have not really set a date for my comeback, fingers crossed I will be fit soon."
