Lucky to even be in contention

28 Jan 2017 By David Watters

Evesham United boss Paul Collicutt will be lucky to call on the services of Adam Mann in the EVO-STIK League Southern on Saturday after the forward fell through a roof at work this week.

The 25-year-old former Gloucester City striker, pictured, is still a major doubt for the club's clash with Paulton Rovers in EVO-STIK League Southern Division One South and West after escaping serious injury but suffering a dead leg in an accident while working as a roofer in Slough.

Collicutt is confident his side can cope with or without Mann at the Spiers & Hartwell Jubilee Stadium and at least two other absentees with winger Carl Brown and forward Sam Pearson definitely out with injuries.

The Robins boss told worcesternews.co.uk on Friday: "We will have to see how Adam is but we have got players waiting in the wings and a competitive squad."

Mann signed for the club in January 2015 after scoring seven goals in 12 appearances during a two month loan spell from the National League North Tigers.
