McGinn Ruled Out for 'Significant Period' Due to Injury
Kettlewell expressed his disappointment over the news, stating, "We are facing a setback with Paul McGinn out for a significant duration. He has a muscle injury that occurred in an entirely innocuous way, and he will definitely miss a considerable amount of time."
Motherwell captain Paul McGinn is set to be sidelined for an extended period due to a thigh injury, as announced by manager Stuart Kettlewell. The 33-year-old full-back sustained the injury during a training session while the international fixtures were taking place.
Kettlewell expressed his disappointment over the news, stating, "We are facing a setback with Paul McGinn out for a significant duration. He has a muscle injury that occurred in an entirely innocuous way, and he will definitely miss a considerable amount of time."
Providing more details about the injury, Kettlewell elaborated, "It's a thigh issue that arose while he was striking the ball, and it appears to be a muscle tear. We will have a clearer timeline on his recovery soon, but for now, the reality is that we will be without our captain for a while. Other long-term injuries within the squad are progressing well, but losing Paul is certainly a major disappointment."
Kettlewell acknowledged the unpredictability of injuries in football, saying, "There’s nothing we can do about it at this point. We work closely with our sports science and medical staff, who are exceptional at what they do. Unfortunately, injuries are part of the game, and despite our efforts to minimize the risks, they can still occur."
