Injury To Nadum Worsens F&F's Problems

F&F have been rocked by an injury to versatile defender Nadum.

F&F defender Nadum suffered an ankle injury while playing a testimonial match with his childhood team in his hometown to raise awareness against racism last week friday.

The 23-year-old clattered into fellow France international on the stroke of half time and hobbled off the pitch at the interval.

It is not known how long the young French will be out for but it could be up to three weeks, and with F&F's squad already depleted, this is a massive blow for the F&F title chances.

F&F manager Ayiepin said after the match, "It's a medial ankle injury, I don't know how long he will be out. It is difficult to assess; it could be one week or three weeks."

"Of course it is a blow, but we have to cope with it."

The natural replacement for Nadom is Welsh teenager Fahrul Ramsey, meaning F&F could be forced to dip into the youth squad once again and Fahrul inexperience at the top level may prove to be split the game either way, further making the case that F&F desperately needs to strengthen the squad.

The injury could not have come at a worse time for F&F, as they travel to Waizuri Park in a crucial make or break game with Wizurai, as the game could determine which of the two grabs the final spot for MMU Cup.
