Arbroath are dealing with a growing number of injuries before their league game against Greenock Morton this weekend. The side may miss up to six regular starters, a problem their manager finds worrying due to issues at the back.
The management team has been missing important players such as Stuart Morrison, Tam O'Brien, Kyle Bonnar, Kyle Magennis, Rudi Molotnikov and Scott Stewart. This has played a part in a poor spell where the team has earned only a few points from a recent set of matches. Letting in many goals so far in the campaign is a specific concern, placing them in the lower half of the standings.
"There’s nothing at this moment in time, but we're hoping that changes," stated the manager regarding players coming back. He continued, "Hopefully we can maybe get some good news, but at this moment in time it's not looking likely." The missing players were noticeable during a recent heavy away loss, which was their second consecutive defeat on their travels. The manager observed that the team has been giving up goals at a steady rate throughout the season.
Recent struggles
These injury problems add to a tough time for Arbroath, who have found it hard to come back after going behind in recent away fixtures. Their recent results show only a single victory from their last several league games, which featured a narrow home win.
Morton, positioned near the bottom, offer a chance to stop this poor run, but the lack of available players is a major obstacle. The two clubs faced each other very recently, with the visitors winning at Gayfield. After this upcoming game, Arbroath will then play an away match against Inverness CT.
