Wollacott

[AL-Qaholik]

Does anybody know the story with him?
Deafening silence on the extent of his injury, from what I’ve seen.

Late September was the initial forecast and that may be at best.

Lee Johnson has confirmed Jojo Wollacott will spend a spell on the sidelines.
The new goalkeeping recruit looks set to be out until late September at the earliest after picking up a thigh injury on his debut against Andorran outfit Inter d'Escaldes in the Europa Conference League (https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/all-about/uefa-europa-conference-league) qualifying match at Easter Road last Thursday. He joins long-term absentees Chris Cadden and Harry McKirdy on the sidelines (https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/sport/harry-mckirdy-positive-hibs-update-27485346) but Rocky Bushiri is available while Dylan Vente - signed from Roda JC - is also likely to make his debut after his big move.

On his new goalkeeper, Johnson (https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/all-about/lee-johnson) said: "He's had his scan but we've not had the surgeon's review yet. More than likely, in a best-case scenario it will be a muscle tear. In a worst-case scenario it will involve a tendon as well. Minimum, from all the information I've got, he will be ruled out for six weeks but it could be worse than that."

I think it's been discovered he's Tom Kite and the injury is a smokescreen for the club to renege on the signing

He’s Tom Kite? Looks really different without the glasses eh.

I don't think he's looked great so far. Admittedly small sample size from pre-season then a 20 minute stint before the injury. But the fact Marciano was an option and we've ended up in this situation blows my mind.
