Truro City hit by keeper crisis ahead of Staines match
11:49am Friday 27th January 2012
Truro City boss Lee Hodges is looking to sign a keeper on loan in time for tomorrow's game with Staines Town after both his first team goalkeepers were struck down with injury.
First-choice keeper Tim Sandercombe has been out with a knee injury for some time.
However, second-choice keeper Tom Brooks has now picked up a hand injury, which could keep him out of action for two weeks.
With Sandercombe not expected back for a further two months it has left Hodges short of a keeper.
City have a contingency in place to sign up their Reserve team keeper Luke Payne in time for tomorrow's match, but the club has also said they are searching for a replacement on a loan deal as well.
There is one bit of good injury news as midfielder Stewart Yetton is making good progress with his recovery and is in contention for a place in the squad.
