Pulling up just 25 minutes into the season opening game at Leicester, it was feared that the Carmarthen born player would face a significant spell on the sidelines. However Allen has responded well to treatment and the Portuguese tactician is optimistic that he will be back in contention in a few weeks as he outlined on the official site, he said “The injury doesn't seem so bad,.He has had a good reaction since Saturday and it may only take him two to three weeks to recover.''
His untimely injury is a blow to the Liberty Stadium club but also comes a personal setback with the midfielder due to represent his country against Hungary on Wednesday.
