Baptiste hands Blackpool injury scare in Latvia

Blackpool have been handed an injury scare by defender Alex Baptiste.

The Blackpool Gazette says Baptiste flew back to England from Latvia today ahead of the rest of his team-mates after a training ground accident.

The Seasiders defender fell in the final moments of a work-out and landed heavily on his hand.

While the rest of the squad aren't due back until tomorrow, Baptiste is returning 24 hours earlier to have a scan and to assess the damage.

"We think Alex may have fractured his hand which would be a big blow," said boss Ian Holloway, "but we will find out more over the weekend."
