AFC Telford man Henry Cowans set for expert opinion on injury
AFC Telford United have sent midfielder Henry Cowans for a specialist opinion on a complicated quad injury.
The problem, which involves the tendons in the leg muscle, has already seen Cowans miss more than a month of football, having started the season brightly.
The 24-year-old was challenged to prove himself in pre-season by boss Gavin Cowan and Cowans caught the eye with a series of impressive displays, as well as proving important versatile cover as the Bucks coped with an injury to Brendon Daniels.
“He’s quite a way away yet,” Cowan said of Cowans. “It’s a really complicated one with the tendon in his quad.
“He’s been sent to experts and had scans that have been looked into in quite some detail. It’s a bit of a strange one.
“We’re waiting for a final analysis but we’ll know it’ll be some time.”
Cowan added: “He was doing ever so well, he’d been awesome. He was arguably our best player through pre-season and then when we had to swap (Lee) Vaughany over on to the left he played an integral part on the right as well as in midfield.”
“He’s a real miss and we’ve had five of those as well as suspensions, it’s been joyous as a manager! But hopefully in the coming weeks I’ll be spoilt for choice.”
