Player News Round Up (28/7)

28th July 2006

Three Lincoln City FC players are facing a race against time to be fit for the opening match of the season.

Left-back is the most pressing problem, as both Jeff Hughes and Paul Mayo are on the injured list. Mayo has a groin injury, while Hughes has a hamstring strain. Of the two, Mayo is most likely to be fit for Notts County.

Joining Hughes and Mayo on the injured list is new signing Ryan Semple. Should any player be likely to miss the Notts County match on August 5th, then it is most probable that it will be Semple. He currently has a thigh strain and the injury alone might not heal before August 5th. Even if it does heal, then Semple would be a risk because he has/will miss several pre-season friendlies.

Meanwhile, former Manchester City midfielder Lee Crooks will not join Lincoln City. Crooks has spent the past month training with The Imps but bizarrely, failed to participate in the majority of Lincoln's pre-season friendlies.
