Blackpool dealt new injury blow - with news confirmed for ex-Charlton Athletic man
Blackpool midfielder Albie Morgan has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
Blackpool have been dealt yet another injury blow - with the club receiving bad news concerning Albie Morgan.
The Seasiders have been forced to deal with a long list of absentees at various points throughout the season so far.
Up to six players are set to be sidelined for this weekend’s meeting with Bolton Wanderers, with Morgan forming part of that list.
The midfielder has been out of action for the past month, after picking up an ankle injury in an FA Cup tie away to Ipswich Town at the beginning of January.
It’d been hoped that the Charlton Athletic youth product would swiftly be back in contention, but after returning to training last week, a problem was flagged.
Providing an update on Morgan, Blackpool head coach Ian Evatt said: “Albie had to have surgery so he’ll be missing for the remainder of the season. It’s a huge blow. It seems like every week I’ve been here we’ve faced a massive hurdle like that.
“We can’t do anything about it now. We have to support him, which we will, and get him right for next season.
“We’ve invested heavily in Dale (Taylor) as well, and I think I’ve had him for literally 20-odd minutes since I’ve been here.
“It’s a challenge, we know, but it’s also part of the game and we have to deal with it, so on we go.”
