Mick Jones has today confirmed that Claude Davis' injury is a lot better than anticipated.

The defender was stretchered off the field of play on Saturday after falling heavily from an aerial challenge, and after the game it was revealed he had been taken to hospital for a scan.

"He is a lot better than anticipated." Mick told www.cpfc.co.uk. "Obviously he took a nasty knock and when you hit the deck like he did there is a lot of weight that goes down on the shoulder and neck .

"He suffered an injury a bit like whiplash, and today he is going to see a specialist with Nigel Cox in London, so we should have a further update later today."
