Blackpool midfielder Charlie Adam had to limp from the pitch with a knee problem during the second half of Scotland’s 3-0 victory over the Faroe Islands on Tuesday. The slight knock means Blackpool face an anxious wait to see if their captain is fit to face Wolves at Bloomfield Road on Saturday. Adam was on form in the game though, playing provider for two of his nation’s goals…
The player told Sky Sports News that he was remaining optimistic…
“I am a wee bit sore and stiff in the knee, but I should be okay and hopefully be alright for Saturday.”
Adam is owned by 19.6% of teams in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, so the potential injury will come as a big concern to many Managers who have become used to the cut-price favourite notching-up the points. Adam is the fifth highest scoring midfielder on the FPL game with a total of 63 points and priced at just £5.7million he is seen as a steal. He has also been awarded more Bonus Points than any other player so far this season, racking up sixteen in his debut season in the top flight.
Reports meanwhile from the local rag in Blackpool suggest that scans on the knee injury Matt Gilks sustained at West Ham on the weekend will see him sidelined for at least two months. Fortunately Blackpool have Ghanain international goalkeeper Richard Kingson in reserve to fill his boots but, nonetheless, this will be a marked loss to the Tangerines and leave them short for cover in the meantime.
