Ballard injury


Father Jack Hackett said:
This. Howe’s team selection regarding Burn will hinge on Ballard playing or not. If they find out he isn’t, I can see the big Blyth dafty starting for his extra threat on set-pieces as we’d be far weaker on then without Ballard.

If Ballard is fit, should disguise it with him coming off the team bus in crutches. Beheddie's face would be a picture at 10.45am once DR'S name is on the teamsheet!

Nordi gives us way more attacking options….especially from right back if Ballard is OK to partner Alderete

Provided he leaves Hume on the bench

No way will Hume be benched

Ballard has an arguably bigger game coming up for Northern Ireland on Thursday so that might play its part in whether he plays or not. If Nordi is back then it isn’t as big a blow as it could be.

Hume at right back Nordi/Aldarete and Cirkin is how we lined up against Man City at home where put in one of the best defensive performances we have had this season, could possible be the same line up for Sunday.
