Burnley manager Brian Laws has implied that Steve Harper could be injured after the brakes were applied on a loan move for Fraser Forster. Hughton however has refused to comment on the alleged injury & there is so far no official news. However, reports suggest that Harper could be suffering a calf injury after being seen flexing it against Carlisle before being replaced.
Laws said of the situation;
"It's no secret that we are looking to bring in another goalkeeper and I think most people are aware Fraser Forster was our target.
However, unfortunately due to an injury at Newcastle, it's not possible to move that on at the moment.
We understand Newcastle's predicament and they can't let Fraser leave until they have assessed that situation.
We are waiting to see how that develops but clearly we may have to look at alter-natives to strengthen our goalkeeping area with the new season less than three weeks away."
