‘It hasn’t really sunk in yet’ injured St Johnstone striker Carl Finnigan devastated that injury has ended his season
ByNews reporter
St Johnstone’s Carl Finnigan has revealed he is struggling to come to terms with the fact that his season has been ended by injury.
The striker tore his cartilage while on loan at Dundee and was operated on last Friday.
Finnigan had scored three goals in five games for the Dark Blues and said he is desperately disappointed to be denied the opportunity to add more to his tally for Barry Smith’s side.
He said: “This injury has to be one of the most frustrating things I’ve ever had to deal with.
“I’d waited all season to get a regular run of games and to have been given that chance was brilliant.”
He added: “I came to Dundee and was really enjoying training and playing, and the fact I scored a some goals and got a few assists certainly helped.
“So for something like this to happen especially from something as innocuous as an awkward landing is hard to get your head around.”
Finnigan said: “It hasn’t really sunk in yet that my season’s over, to be honest.
“But my op went well and it’s just a case of an eight to 10 week recovery now.”
