South African forward Lyle Foster, who plays in the Championship, has suffered a shoulder injury.
His team, Burnley, is currently managed by Scott Parker, who confirmed that the player is in the recovery process.
Burnley are fighting for promotion to the Premier League. They are currently in second place with 88 points, and this injury could be critically important for them, as the team cannot afford to drop points in the remaining four matches.
However, Foster’s injury might not be too serious. It is expected that he will return to the squad before the end of the season. The player has scored 3 goals and provided 5 assists this season.
Regarding Foster’s condition, head coach Scott Parker made the following statement:
“We are at the back end of the season. He also wants to get back on the pitch. We’ll take it step by step, and we gave him a little push on Wednesday to see how he responds. We’ll monitor the situation closely.”
“At first, we were worried it could be worse, but the current situation is more stable. It’s still a significant injury, but if Lyle can tolerate the pain, he might be able to play. Still, it’s going to be a real challenge.”
