Gary Abisogun - injury update

[Curtis]

‘Gary Abisogun will be out of action for an extended period after a scan revealed a tear in the cartilage in his knee, which requires surgery.’

Does the club have medical insurance cover for all the first team squad? Or will Gary be on the NHS waiting list for this surgery?

[C'est la vie]

Gutting for Gary as he was looking sharp in pre-season. One positive is atleast it's not as bad as many first feared. I hope he isn't on the NHS waiting list, we won't see him until 2025 if so!!

This isn’t a trick question to the Club…. I appreciate we have new owners that probably have this all in hand, but pre new owners, fan fundraisers have been set up for Adam Foulser, Mark Scott & Ryan Bird in similar circumstances.

I stand to be corrected but wasn't those fundraisers to cover their wages because they were self employed?

Foulsers was  he was (is) a self employed plumber and it was mentioned that he may struggle

Foulser had his own private medical insurance also

There are mentions of fund raisers in archives aimed at helping Scott and Bird with living costs

I don’t know whether it’s true, but someone told me Gary was sitting in the main stand last night, and that he has already had his operation & is hoping to be back playing by the end of October.
