Clarke to sit out play-off return

Last updated : 17 May 2010 By BBC Sport

Huddersfield Town's Tom Clarke has been ruled out of his club's League One play-off semi-final second-leg at Millwall on Tuesday night.The defender will see a specialist on Monday to discover the extent of the knee injury picked up in Saturday's goalless first leg.

"You don't want good lads to miss out on the big games, so that's very sad," manager Lee Clark told BBC Radio Leeds.

"But we are luckily enough to have other quality options to cover."

Robbie Williams and Dean Heffernan are the likely replacement options for Clarke on Tuesday at the New Den.

Clark added: "Our thoughts will be with Tom as we travel down to the match and we all hope he gets good news when he sees the specialist.

"But we can cope with his loss and we have to move on. We will now hopefully pick a team that is good enough to do the job so Tom can then celebrate with us."
