LONDON, CMC – Reggae Boy Kasey Palmer will miss the rest of the English season with his Championship side Coventry City through injury, his manager said on Friday.
The 26-year-old Sky Blues playmaker, who scored four goals in 31 appearances this season, has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring tear against Sunderland last month.
“He will next be available for us during pre-season,” boss Mark Robins said.
“He’s having loads of work done. He’s not needed any surgical intervention, but he has injections to help the healing process of his tendon, which has been damaged significantly.”
Palmer, who began his career at Chelsea, was signed from second-tier rivals Bristol City last summer. He has been a critical player for Robins’ side, who lie ninth in the Championship table and challenging for a play-off place.
Robins added: “It needs time to heel and, at this stage of the season, a 10-week injury will rule him out for the remainder of the campaign.
“It’s a shame because he has been perfect for us this season.”
Palmer was one of eight UK-born players who received their first call-up by Jamaica in March 2021, making his full international debut for the Reggae Boyz in a 4-1 defeat against the United States that month.
