Fitzgerald looking at six weeks out Mick Fitzgerald faces up to six weeks on the sidelines after an x-ray at Cheltenham General Hospital revealed the jockey has broken a bone in his left wrist.After steering Fadalko to victory at Cheltenham today, Fitzgerald felt discomfort in the wrist which has proved problematic since his fall from Marlborough in the Martell Grand National.The jockey gave up his remaining ride of the afternoon to go to hospital for precautionary x-rays on the wrist and will now miss plum rides at Ayr this weekend, as well as Punchestown and Sandown next week.Fitzgerald said: 'Its been playing me up and the x-ray confirms there is a small crack in a bone in my left wrist and I will be coming back here tomorrow to have it plastered.'There is never a good time for something like this to happen as I`ve got a busy week and a bit coming up with good rides at Ayr, Punchestown and Sandown so it`s not good news as I`m going to be out at least four weeks.'Fitzgerald`s mount in the Gala Casinos Daily Record Scottish National, Marlborough, will now be ridden by Paul Carberry.
