Jae Crowder Jersey Almiron went off with 10 minutes left after appearing to suffer a wrist injury, while Saint-Maximins game was ended after what looked to be an innocuous collision.Howe does not believe either injury is too serious, but Willocks hamstring i sue is more worrying ahead of that Wembley showdown in two weeks time.Miggy Almiron and Max, I dont think theyre too bad, Howe said at his post-match pre Steve Nash Jersey s conference. Miggy, I think, got stamped on his hand, so we think hell be okay. Maxi was just a knock.

Were going through a phase where were creating chances but not scoring and I think that will end, I dont think that can continue.
