David Unsworth has confirmed Joe Williams will be missing for ‘a few months’ after he picked up a fresh injury.
The Under-23s midfielder damaged his lateral collateral ligament in the final game of last season against Chelsea and only made his comeback in the 2-0 win over Manchester United at the end of September.
But a behind-closed-doors run-out against Wigan has seen the youngster pick up a fresh injury that will rule him out for the rest of the year.
“Unfortunately Joe picked up a knock against Wigan a couple of weeks ago,” explained Unsworth.
