FOLLOWING yesterday’s match at The Oval where James Akintunde was stretched off early in the game, the club can now provide an update on James’ condition…
On arrival at hospital, a full x-ray and further assessments were carried out where it was confirmed that James suffered an ankle fracture-dislocation.
This is a very significant and serious injury which will carry a long recovery time. James will now be transferred to Derry/Londonderry where he will undergo surgery in the coming days.
Our thanks go to all of the medical professionals, stewards and staff both at The Oval and at the hospital for their care and attention to James. The focus of everybody at the club is on giving James the support he needs during this very difficult time for him.
We would finally like to thank both sets of supporters for their support to James inside the stadium as he was taken from the field of play.
