Carlisle United's David Ajiboye was forced to leave the game with a knock in the second half of their 4-1 win against Hornchurch. Head coach Rob Elliot says it's nothing to worry about.
What happened?
Ajiboye took a whack and seized up, according to Elliot.
Why it matters for Carlisle
The team is currently 17th in National League, with 1 point from 2 games, and a recent form of DL.
What comes next?
Carlisle United will face Eastleigh at home on 2027-02-20, and are 5 points behind leaders Harrogate Town. The team has scored 3 goals and conceded 4 this season, with a goal difference of -1. Kenton Richardson, who made his debut as a substitute against Yeovil Town, was withdrawn from the team sheet due to stiffness and soreness. Elliot says they'll assess Richardson's status and play it safe. With Hayden Atkinson taking Richardson's place, Elliot praises Atkinson's willingness to head the ball, saying he'd 'head brick walls for this club'. As the season progresses, Carlisle United will look to improve their standing and close the gap with Harrogate Town.
