@futbolnz I should clarify, I think he’s in the squad because we don’t have a clear striker once Chris Wood retires, so it’s future planning for that position.

John Mousinho has confirmed that Luke Brooke-Smith suffered a serious ankle injury during training on Tuesday.
"It’s a really unfortunate one. He’s suffered a severe ankle dislocation during training. Off the back of that, there is a fracture on his fibula and significant ligament damage."
"It was dealt with really well by everyone at the training ground and he was taken to QA before being discharged really late last night.
"We’re going to leave it to settle for a couple of days, but he will go in for surgery after that."
We're all with you, Luke. 💙
