Blow for Port Vale after attacker suffers ligament injury
Reports suggest that Port Vale attacker Ben Whitfield has suffered a ligament injury which is keeping him out of the side.
The rumour mill was in full effect when, days after being linked with a possible move to Colchester United, Whitfield was not in the Vale squad to face Carlisle United.
However, with Whitfield also ruled out of Tuesday night’s game with Newport County, the media have said that the player has suffered a ligament injury.
There has been no official confirmation from the club nor any information on how long the player could be ruled out of action for.
