EVANS RULED OUT
The 23 years old midfielder of Blackburn Rovers, Corry Evans sustained an injury that left him out of action for almost 4 months. He suffered damage on his ankle ligament when playing for Northern Ireland during a World Cup qualifier back in October 15 of 2013.
The Northern Irish footballer appeared as a substitute player during Blackburn Rovers match against Middlesbrough and was even expected to make his long awaited return to the playing fields but ultimately he had to settle on sitting on the bench for the entirety of the match.
Even though he was not picked by Gary Bowyer to play against Middlesbrough, the head coach of the club stated that his recovery and arrival to the team is almost like having made a new signing with no cost.
“He can pass, he can tackle, he can score goals, he uses his size above his means – and he’s a bit of a leader as well. So having him back will be like a new signing for us. He’s a top player with a good understanding of the all-round game. He was just starting to make the impact we knew he could when he got a nasty injury but we’re looking forward to him coming back.” Gary Bowyer said.
Corry Evans stated himself that he is eager to make it back into the team after completing his full recovery as he wants to kick-start his career with Blackburn Rovers.
“I just can’t wait to get on and make an appearance now. Even though I’ve been here all season I haven’t played much so I’m just looking to get back in there and help the team push on up the table. It took me a few games to get into it at the start of the season because I came with an injury so hopefully I can get back to how I was playing and help the team’’. Evans stated.
