Steven Davies: Blackpool striker set to miss rest of season

A groin injury is set to keep Blackpool striker Steven Davies out of action for the rest of the season.

The 26-year-old joined the Seasiders from relegated Bristol City for a reported £500,000 in July and has scored three goals in 29 appearances.

"He'll probably need to go in for an operation," caretaker manager Barry Ferguson told the club website.

Blackpool are six points above the Championship relegation zone and host Huddersfield on Saturday.
