Injury boost for Valiants
Michael O’Connor’s injury picked up during the friendly match with Bolton is not as bad as first feared.
An article on the official Port Vale website noted that: “The club can confirm the injury is not as serious as first feared although a timescale cannot be placed on the 27-year-old’s return as of yet.”
O’Connor was sent for scans after being forced to leave the pitch just five minutes into Wednesday’s friendly match.
The news is a boost for Vale who will be missing consistent goalkeeper Chris Neal for the start of the season.
