Andy Crosby, the manager of Port Vale, has informed the media that striker Uche Ikpeazu may be sidelined for up to twelve weeks.
The news is devastating for the team since Ikpeazu and James Wilson have been the team’s first choices and have developed a strong rapport. Unless the team adds more players on deadline day, Wilson, Ryan Loft, and teenage Baylee Dipepa are the only senior possibilities in Ikpeazu’s absence.
The seasoned centre forward hurt his shoulder during the weekend’s loss to Portsmouth, and Crosby said, “Uche has already had surgery on that shoulder.” We anticipate 10 to twelve weeks at the very least.
“It was clear that the big man was in a lot of agony last week. He is now ineligible for that duration.
It arrived at an inopportune moment. Another player sustains a serious injury.
