33 MINS: McCarthy is back on now.

27 MINS: Diouf wins a free-kick on the right, Warnock into the area, but as both McCarthy and Samba leap, Gomes rises highest to claim.
26 MINS: David Dunn comes on for Pedersen. Looks like he'll be playing on the left.
26 MINS: Pedersen is down the tunnel, Dunn is getting stripped to come on.
25 MINS: In fact it looks like Dunn will be coming on as Pedersen isn't able to continue. Now I aint no medical expert but maybe Pedersen jarred his knee when he hit that volley.
