[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 61096"] From sky sports; [b]Fears grow for injured Sharks[/b] [img]http://images.skysports.com/images/sports/Sale/cueto_mark.jpg[/img] Mark Cueto and Jason Robinson remain major doubts for Sale Sharks, as the club approaches arguably the most important match of its history. Sale travel to Biarritz for a place in the last four of the Heineken Cup on Sunday, knowing they will have to be at their very best to beat the French champions. Cueto is attracting most concern amongst club doctors, as he continues to suffer from heavy swelling around his ankle after a freak landing during the weekend clash with London Irish. The 26-year-old leapt to claim what seemed like a routine catch, before he fell awkwardly on an inflatable advertising sign. Cueto, who has scored 11 tries in just 16 appeaances for England, is one of Sale's undoubted match-winners, but fears are increasing overances for England, is one of Sale's over his availability. Commenting on the British and Irish Lions duo, Sharks' media and PR manager Dave Swanton revealed: "Cueto's more of a doubt. "It's not a break and not ligament damage. Mark's a fighter and he wants to play." Robinson left the pitch after only 18 minutes of Sale's 29-21 win against the Exiles, complaining of a heavy blow to his hip. The nature of the injury suggests that rest will allow the pain to subside in time for the former England man to feature, but head coach Philippe Saint-Andre will be anxiously awaiting the duo's progress over the next few days. Sale lack quality strength in depth past their starting XV, highlighted by the recent Premiership defeat to lowly Saracens during the Six Nations period. Chris Mayor and scrum half Sililo Martens were called upon to fill the shoes of Cueto and Robinson at the Madejski Stadium, but Saint-Andre will be desperate to have his key duo available as he returns to his native homeland. ---------------------------------------- Without Robinson, their fooked. Unless Rasberry decides he [i]can[/i] catch a ball that is. [/QUOTE]
