The England striker was taken off on a stretcher in the first half
and went to hospital for a scan on his leg.
The £6.25million signing from Liverpool fell awkwardly in the 16th
minute after attempting to control a pass from Stan
Lazaridis.
The Blues were playing against former Villa striker Savo Milosevic
but it was Valmiro Valdo who opened the scoring in the 74th
minute.
Steve Bruce's men then went on the attack and Mario Melchiot
delivered a dangerous cross that was cleared before the home side
grabbed the equaliser with five minutes remaining.
Jesper Gronkjaer's cross was met by Jamie Clapham and the
full-back's shot was deflected in.
From the above event, I guess Heskey have no chances of becoming a
top scorer of EPL and to show the world he is not a flop.
With news of the no-show of all the big club top strikers in the
beginning of the season, I believe the opening day of the season
will be full of nil - nil scoreline.
