Confirmed: Cressie out for four months
The news breaking at the moment across the media was exclusively brought to you by ClaretandHugh yesterday when we revealed that the left back could be out of action for between one to six months.
And earlier this afternoon we reported that there will be no cheap replacements or loans sought by the club with our top source telling us the club has gambled for too long on the position and that a top quality player will be brought in.
It’s absoutely dreadful news for the lad and for Slaven Bilic but the news there will be no cheap replacements will be welcomed by the fans.
Cresswell will see a specialist “early next week” when a decision would be taken on whether surgery would be required.
Cressie suffered knee damage in the closing stages of the match against Karlsruher on Saturday when the victim of a horror tackle.
