Morpeth Town can confirm that Ben Sayer faces a lengthy spell on the side-lines through injury.
The midfielder jarred his leg when riding a challenge during the 3-2 FA Cup Preliminary Round replay victory over Brighouse Town at Craik Park on Tuesday, September 3rd.
Potentially ending his season, Sayer has suffered cruciate knee ligament damage and begins his road to recovery immediately. He was at our game on Saturday – when we beat Hyde United 3-1 in the FA Cup First Qualifying Round – and will hopefully be a regular in the stands if you want to wish him well.
Everyone at the club wishes Ben a speedy recovery and we hope to see you back, fighting fit as soon as possible.
