Harry Paton will be sidelined for a minimum of 14 weeks after undergoing ankle surgery, Motherwell have confirmed.
The midfielder picked up an injury in Motherwell’s 3-1 win against Clyde in the Premier Sports Cup last Saturday.
“It was a pretty bad injury,” manager Stuart Kettlewell said.
“Harry’s had surgery on his ankle. It looks like he’ll be out for a minimum of 14 weeks.
“We’ll support Harry to make sure he comes back from this injury.”
The Canadian has made 42 appearances for the Lanarkshire club since joining from Ross County in April 2023.
On a brighter note, Kettlewell provided a positive update on Ross Callachan and Sam Nicolson, adding the pair are, “doing some pretty extensive work” and “moving in the right direction”.
The Motherwell manager also said Callum Slattery is,” coming along really well.”
“He’s desperate to get back on the pitch but there’s a timescale involved. You won’t see him playing until well into November. If we introduce him too early, there’s a risk of another injury.
“He has a smile on his face because he’s making good strides.”
