Blackpool hopeful over Billy Clarke knee injury

Football News Staff - 19 Jul 2010

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway is hopeful the knee injury suffered by Billy Clarke will not prove too serious.

The 22-year-old striker limped off in the early stages of the friendly against Tiverton after twisting his knee when landing awkwardly.

And the Seasiders are now sweating over results of a scan with less than a month to go before their Premier League debut.

Holloway said: “We’re hoping it won’t be too serious and won’t keep him out for too long.”

Meanwhile, the Blackpool manager is reportedly poised to offer a trial to former Arsenal and Everton striker Francis Jeffers, who was released by Sheffield Wednesday at the end of last season.
