The club will most likely have to look for a new goalkeeper after the reserve goalkeeper of the club Gert de Vlieger got injured. Due to the injury, he will miss the entire upcoming season.
This summer, the player who arrived in England ruptured his Achilles tendon. All this happened 20 minutes into a friendly match. The player had to be carried off the field on a stretcher.
G. de Vlieger was the main backup goalkeeper to David James. For now, head coach Kevin Keegan will have to choose the reserve goalkeeper from two young players - Kevin Ellegaard or Kasper Schmeichel.
However, speaking to journalists, Kevin Keegan stated that the club will most likely look for a new goalkeeper before the first Premier League match - "We will have to purchase a new goalkeeper. Gert injured his Achilles tendon and cannot play the entire season, and I cannot risk that position. I will have to talk to the club president."
"If there is no money and there won't be, but there will be a big risk and we have to hope that nothing will happen to David James," the coach said.
