Luke Chambers Sidelined for Months with Back Injury
The young player has headed back to Liverpool for treatment.
Liverpool FC defender Luke Chambers, currently out on loan at Wigan, has suffered a back injury that will rule him out of action for the next couple of months.
The defender recently pulled out of the England Under-20 squad fixtures during the international break, and Latics boss Shaun Maloney has spoken about the cause:
“Luke has a back injury, and it doesn’t look too good a prognosis. We got that news yesterday, he’s going to be out for a fair period of time. You’re not going to see him back on the field for quite a while.”
“It’s not weeks, it will be months...into the New Year for sure.”
“He won’t need an operation, but he will go back to Liverpool tomorrow, they’ll take over his rehab. The specialists will get involved and they’ll take that over...it’s a real shame for him.
“I think there’s a bit of history behind it, over the last two or three years...it’s not something that’s just happened, or an impact injury.
“It’s such a shame because he was absolutely flying for us, he’s probably been our best player this season.”
It’s a shame because Luke was doing well at Wigan, by all accounts. Wishing him a swift recovery.
