Juno to miss start of season

He has damaged his cruciate ligament and that could spell months out, depending on how seriously damaged it is. This is obviously a huge blow to everyone connected with the club as Juno's arrival had created a huge buzz around the town.

Juninho will see a specialist in the very near future to assess the damage but the Little Fella will certainly miss the start of the season.

Manager Steve McClaren, "It is too early to say how long he will be out for, but its obviously a serious injury. Its a setback but we must all pull together, club, players and fans alike."
