Gillingham defender Garry Richards' recovery from injury suffers a setback
Gillingham defender Garry
Richards’ hopes of getting some first team football have been
hampered by a bout of conjunctivitis.
Richards was left out of the
Gillingham side following mid-October’s defeat to Brighton and a
succession of injuries have left his hopes of fighting his way back
in tatters.
Richards, 23, was due to head out on
loan, with Hereford and Barnet interested, to get games under
his belt but that has been put on hold.
He looks set to be sidelined for up to
two weeks.
Manager Mark Stimson said: "There was
a bit of interest but unfortunately he picked up a severe case of
conjunctivitis. He doesn’t look like Garry Richards, he looks
really sore and is on a course of antibiotics.
"That’s a bit frustrating as he would
have gone out and got some football to help him get his fitness
back and also (help us) financially. There is possibly one or two
others where something might happen."
