Due to the consistently hot weather and hard playing surfaces, clubs up and down the country are suffering from excess player injuries. Pitches this hard in the winter months would almost certainly see games called off for player safety.
Our squad is no different. We signed four new defenders in the summer, and all four are currently unavailable, along with Fouad Bachirou.
Jo Cummings unfortunately has a serious Achilles injury, and we send him our very best wishes. He is likely to miss the remainder of the season.
As mentioned in a recent post, Pierce Bird has undergone a meniscus operation and is hopefully expected to be available in approximately six weeks.
Tom Senior has also suffered a potential season-ending injury, and we again send him our love and support.
Levi Andoh has a minor impact injury that should only sideline him for a week or two, and we are awaiting scan results for Bachirou.
Fortunately, unlike most clubs, we are able to replace players where others cannot.
We have today signed two defensive players of considerable quality who will certainly strengthen our squad moving forward. Both are available tomorrow, and we will publish full details on each player shortly.
Thanks again for your support.
Chairman David Hilton.
