Great news. My favourite player too.

Liked the words that Kevin Nicolson said on the subject,there are more important things than football.

You'll really be missed over the next few months, Luke.

A hell of a knock back, but a brave, strong character.

Best wishes for a full and quick recovery.

Two serious knee injuries in two years (the left and now the right) is truly unfair and comes at a time when he was just hitting full pace as well.

Not good news at all. Damn unlucky.

brucie's back....hooray!

According to tonights commentary, Young was spoken to tonight and states he expects bad news on the injury. Looking like a long spell out.

A knee ligament injury is still pretty worrying news though, and we'll likely be without him for a while. There's not too many fixtures coming up, and perhaps only York away that we have a reasonable chance to win before the New Year, as Dagenham and FGR twice is a pretty tough ask. However the worry is that he'll be out well into next year if it's a bad injury to knee ligaments.

That is correct.

Here's some more info on that type of injury.

Probably won't see him back until the New Year then. Merry Christmas Youngy!
