Carlisle United boss Paul Simpson is concerned about the number of hamstring injuries being picked up by his players.
Wing back Jack Ellis was the latest when he pulled up with just 20 minutes gone at Walsall on Monday.
Simpson said: “I’m annoyed with what’s going on with this now. It’s his other hamstring, as it was with Fin Back, and we’re going to have to have a serious look at it.
“It’s hard for me to say anything at the moment because I’m just not happy about it. For me, the group and for Jack Ellis, it’s really frustrating. We’ll assess it over the next couple of days.
“It’s far too many, I find it really uncomfortable as a group we’re getting so many hamstring injuries. We’re looking to try and work out what it is, there has got to be something.
“Fin Back’s is a little bit different, because we haven’t done the rehab for Fin, we followed it to what Forest said, I don’t really know, but it’s really, really disappointing, for Jack to start with, for the group and for me, and we’re going to have to address it.”
With the back line in particular affected, it’s bound to have an impact on consistency in selection as players go missing from action.
“I’ve tried to do that,” he agreed. “We already know that we won’t have Ben Barclay for the Stockport game [part of the loan agreement], so we’re affected because we’re losing another player there.
“We have to deal with it, get on with it. We’ve got enough in the squad to deal with it, the truth is this is what we’ve got, so we have to go with it. There is enough in there without any doubts, we’ve just got to make sure we perform right.”
