Smith to step out of the shadows

A year ago this weekend, Alan Smith suffered a horrific injury that has
limited him to just two first-team starts since.
As a second-half substitute against Liverpool in the FA Cup on 18 February
at Anfield, Smith blocked a shot from John Arne Riise, which broke his leg
and dislocated his ankle. The 26-year-old striker hasn't played for the Reds
since getting a 60-minute run-out in the defeat to Southend in the Carling
Cup at the start of November.
Smith has been on an intensive fitness programme to get his fitness levels
back up. Described as “terrific” in training, Sir Alex Ferguson would have
no qualms about throwing the striker back into action against Reading on
Saturday – but says the Yorkshireman may just have to be a bit more patient
in getting back into the team.
"I could play him against Reading no problem," said Sir Alex. "But the
difficulty of course is the form of the team and that I have so many
players playing so well. I'm trying to be fair to everyone, but it is
hard. All I can say is that he is improving all the time, he has been
terrific in training.
"I’m thinking that when Henrik Larsson goes back to Helsingborg in March,
Alan could become a very important player to us. I think he sees that
himself, and hopefully that is the case.
「史密斯訓練很刻苦，他渴望回到場上。或許這樣想有點自私，但拉爾森回到瑞典後，
史密斯將是我們的重要替補。」
"It's just a matter of getting his timing and his confidence back again,”
added the boss. “He's coming along fine. He's been in the squad over the
last few weeks but the team is picking itself at the moment and when
everyone is fit it's difficult even to pick the subs.”

現在預備隊比賽比較多了
所以希望Alan能有機會上場找回一些狀態
