Newport County midfielder Keenan Patten is set for a lengthy period out of action after suffering an open leg fracture during Tuesday’s pre-season friendly against Bristol City.
The injury occurred early in the second half following a collision at the Robins High Performance Centre.
Keenan underwent surgery on Wednesday and is expected to return home today. At this stage, it is too early to provide a clear timeline for his recovery.
Everyone at Newport County sends their best wishes to Keenan as he begins his recovery journey. He has the full support of the club during this difficult time.
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the paramedics and medical staff at the Robins High Performance Centre for their swift and professional assistance.
Manager David Hughes, added “Thankfully the injury wasn’t as bad as we initially feared at that particular moment in time, but we’ll be there to support him through his rehabilitation and we’re already looking forward to seeing him back on the grass.“
