Defender Joel Connolly has sustained a fractured ankle in training and will sadly be missing for around 2 months.
We all wish Joel the best in his recovery and hope for his return to the pitch as soon as possible.
Manager Paul Carden said:
“I’m gutted for Joel because of how he’s been playing. He’s been a real positive since I’ve come to the club with the type of lad he is. But it’s not only his personality, it’s how he’s been as a player as well.
“It was a typical Joel moment, he’s blocked a shot as he doesn’t want to concede and the ball’s caught the end of his foot and it’s rocked his ankle right back.
“He’s a tough kid who’ll be resilient and no doubt he’ll be doing all he can to get back as soon as possible and be fitter and stronger than he was before.”
