More trouble for Alan Combe on the injury front is not what was expected before the season starts.
| Kilmarnock may have to cope without first-choice keeper Alan Combe for much of the first half of the season. The 'keeper is back in training after undergoing a double hernia operation over the summer, but he is struggling with a hip injury now. Killie manager Jim Jefferies has confirmed kicking is a problem for Combe and that surgery may be the last resort after injections failed to ease the discomfort. Jefferies wil have to get out on the search for a short-term replacement if Combe goes under the knife as surgery would sideline him for the best part of four months. Jefferies said: "Alan is training but kicking is the problem. He had an injection but it's not worked so we're waiting to see if anything else can be done. If not he may need an operation which would keep him out for three-and-a-half months and we'd have to sign a keeper for the short-term. It's a blow because we are already waiting for James Fowler to go in for a hernia op." | |
