Tore injured and out for several weeks!
Summer loan signing Gokhan Tore is injured and out of action for at least five weeks.
The Turk has suffered a quadriceps muscles problem which affects the thigh and we were told he will be out for a minimum of five weeks.
It was also explained to ClaretandHugh by our regular inside sources that the club doesn’t have the option to send him back to Turkey in January.
The club can do so with Simone Zaza but although the Irons have been unhappy with what they have seen of Tore the only way he could return would be via a mutually arranged agreement with Besiktas.
The club forked out a £2.5 million loan fee for Tore which has already been paid but that won’t stop them attempting to negotiate a return to Turkey as January approaches.
Meanwhile there is a 50-50 chance that Diafra Sakho could return to the squad next weekend as well as Aaron Cresswell.
