“Jack’s as courageous as they come and to play out the game with a broken collarbone was a fantastic effort,” Saints soccer boss David Misson stated in a membership assertion.
“We’re looking at a four-week recovery window for Jack.
“As we have seen with our taking part in listing to date this season, whereas accidents aren’t supreme, all we will management is our response and I’m positive one other participant will step up in Jack’s absence and seize the chance to contribute to the group.
“We’re hopeful that Jimmy Webster and Jack Bytel could be in the frame for a return this week, but we’ll just monitor their progress during the week and be guided by the medical advice.”
