Player Update

[David Holden]

The Good News is that Francis had the plaster taken off on Monday and the pins removed from his ankle, and that everything went well.

 

He goes back to have the stitches removed on the 19th and hopefully will be ready to start training in six weeks.

 

Liam Hatch has progressed quicker than expected and will be in contention on Saturday. He would have taken part in the Northwood match, but he was suspended following his sending off against Stevenage.

 

Finally, Andy hopes that Austin Berkley will go out on loan this week.

It is good to have some positive news on injured players, Dave. Despite all the good work that our other midfield players have done, Francis' return will, I think, raise the team's performances to even greater heights. Good to hear that Liam is fit again although Andy said in one of his interviews that he tends to heal quickly (a bit like Jacko - must be the Kentish air!).

On another subject, is there any news about Hamid Barr?

 

Enjoy your short break in the CI.

Totally agree, to have Francis back in the team will be a major boost. Although, the performances of Burton, Watts, Barnett and Wilkins in central defence have been outstanding.

 

As well as Hamid Barr, is there any news on whether we will be singing Paul Sturgess?
