On-loan defender Jay McEveley is going to miss the rest of the season after scans revealed the extent of a knee ligament injury.

McEveley went for scans this afternoon and the results of which show the injury is much worse than first expected.

 

Town manager Joe Royle: “The ligament is torn completely and that means Jay is out for the season really.

 

 “It's a real blow for the lad and he will need surgery.

 

“We will talk to Blackburn and find out whether they want their specialist to carry out the operation or our people.

 

“It's another knock for us. We have to deal with it but it's certainly a blow for us and Jay.”

 

Town physio Dave Williams added: “Unfortunately the ligament is detached and come away from the bone.

 

“Although I wouldn't rule him out completely for the season it's look likely that will be the case.”
