Gambian
international footballer Lamin Jallow will be forced to watch ASD Trapani next
two games on the sideline after picking up an injury on his right knee,
Pointsports has gathered from the club official website.
The 22-year-old danger man sustained the knee ligament in a narrow 1-0
win away to Vinceza on Tuesday.
Club
doctors confirmed the impressive attacker has suffered a collateral knee
ligament which will keep him out of action for two weeks.
Jallow
will not be available when his side travels to Spal for their Serie B match on
Monday April 17, 2017, with a home tie to follow against Pissa five days later.
He
is expected to return to action in time to face Cappi FC away on April 25.
The
highly-rated forward was impressive under coach Igzazio Arcoleo when he scored
twice as Trapani crushed to a 4-0 win over Serie B side Barri 1908, a fortnight
ago.
The
news comes as a massive blow for ASD Trapani, who are fighting a battle for
relegation.
The
club currently sit third from bottom on 37 points in the league table, two
places above bottom two, Vicenza and Brescia, who are rooted at the bottom of
the table on 37 and 35 points respectively.
The
former Bakau United and Real de Banjul wonder kid Jallow, is currently on loan
from Cittadella, another Serie B team in Italy where he netted seven times in
25 league matches during the 2015/16 league seasons.
The
two clubs (Cittadella & Trapani) reportedly reached an agreement for the
service of the pacy forward, and a loan deal was confirmed by Chievoverona, who
still maintain ownership of the player after signing him from Real de Banjul in
2014.
He
has five international accolades under his belt to date, and will look to add
more Scorpions games to his name when Gambia begin qualifier for the
preliminary rounds of the Orange Caf Africa Nations Cup tournament to be held
in Cameroon in 2019.
