11 Dec
Summary
- Winger Stephen Duke-McKenna has suffered a broken metatarsal.
- The injury will sideline the player for an estimated three months.
- Duke-McKenna has scored six goals in 20 appearances this season.
Harrogate Town faces a significant blow as winger Stephen Duke-McKenna has been ruled out for three months due to a broken metatarsal. The injury sustained during Tuesday's 2-0 home defeat to Accrington Stanley will impact the team's performance. Duke-McKenna, a 25-year-old Guyana international, has been instrumental this season, netting six goals in 20 appearances.
Manager Simon Weaver expressed disappointment following the scan results, stating, "It's bad news for the team." He confirmed that the player, affectionately known as Dukey, had made a substantial impact this season. The projected recovery period of at least 12 weeks means Harrogate will have to adapt their strategy without a key attacking threat.
Despite Harrogate's position in the League Two relegation zone, Duke-McKenna's contributions have been notable. His absence poses a considerable challenge for the Yorkshire club as they navigate the remainder of their season, with significant adjustments expected in team selection and tactics.
