Fox: Given all-clear

Sky Bet

Burnley defender Danny Fox has been given the all-clear after suffering a suspected broken rib against Wolves at the weekend.

The January signing from Celtic has made seven appearances since arriving at Turf Moor, but needed oxygen on the pitch after going down during Saturday's 2-1 defeat.

But following a trip to hospital, the left-sided player has been told he might even be in contention to play Wigan this coming weekend.

Manager Brian Laws said: "I have spoken to Danny and he is settled.

"He will aim to be fit for Saturday."

Fox, 23, scored his only goal for the Clarets so far against West Ham in a 2-1 home victory in February.
