Signing injured players

[Northumbiron]

We’ve a bit of previous on this one.

Onariase to undergo surgery on a hernia. Should this not have been picked up in his medical (surely he had one before signing)?

And with us re-signing a bit of a crock in Jordan Clarke are we aware of the possible problems, or are we the football equivalent of the developer who renovates old houses?

….and Van Veen out for two months at least because of knee surgery, not good is it.

Neither can have their op until they have gone through a 14 day quarantine / isolation period either…

Looks like the back 4 in the opening (serious) game might be a bit short of experience.

They look a little ponderous tonight,but it’s only a friendly,let’s hope for better in the second half

Trialist on for Rowe at half time.

Long term concerns over Clarke??

If he’s a good player and there were other clubs in for him, a relatively minor injury doesn’t mean we shouldn’t sign him. If he’s worth signing, he’s worth signing with a hernia. And insurance should be paying his wages while he’s unavailable anyway.
