Injury worries for Wealdstone

By

Wealdstone are facing more injury problems after Lee Chappell and Nikki Ahamed were taken off during the pre-season friendly against Biggleswade Town on Saturday.

Chappell has been left nursing a groin problem, while Ahamed could be facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after being carried off with what appeared to be a serious ankle injury.

The Stones are already without Alan Massey, who is recovering from a spinal injury, and Sean Cronin, who took a knee in the back during the recent friendly against Watford.

Manager Gordon Barlett described his side’s performance in the 3-3 draw against Biggleswade as “sloppy.”

Wealdstone were 2-0 down before pulling a goal back through Peter Dean’s penalty and then levelling when central defender Wes Parker prodded home from close range.

Richard Jolly’s 85th-minute goal seemed to have won it for Bartlett’s men, but an equaliser by Harry Hunt – his second goal of the game – denied Wealdstone victory.
