Petrov still sidelined

Newly crowned player of the month (still a game left though until December though) Martin Petrov has been ruled out of the weekends game with Hull:

"I am feeling better but I don't think I'll make it this week," he said on the club's official website."I am hoping that I can start training again at the start of next week."

Poor timing of course given his form of late and having only recently re-asserted himself back into the starting line-up.

Even moreso you imagine given the imminent return of Robinho.
