Contract offer for injured Markus
by Richard Field, 17 May 2008
Inverness manager Craig Brewster revealed midfielder Markus Paatalainen is facing a six month layoff with knee ligament damage, but the club have offered him a new contract .
The 25-year-old was facing the bleak prospect of months without a club following the imminent expiry of his current deal, but Caley have offered the player a six-month extension.
“Unfortunately his scan shows a cruciate injury, but he’s a great professional,” Brewster said.
“He’ll be out for a minimum of six months, but it’s a difficult injury which a lot of players have had, and they seem to be more common now.
“However if any player will come back he’s certainly got the determination to do that.”
