O'Keefe; surgery for Stuart
The official site have announced that Stuart O'Keefe will have go into surgery next Monday regarding the hernia problem he picked up when he came on as a substitute against Millwall last month.
The teenager, who looked Southend's best player that night, will be out for between four and six weeks.
Granty; something to smile about
However, fellow midfield man Anthony Grant, who limped off against Swindon a couple of weeks ago, will not have to go under the knife, which hopefully will see him back in training shortly.
