Fleetwood boss Uwe Rosler still faces injury worries at the club, despite Aaron Amadi-Holloway’s impressive return to first-team action.

The Trawlermen were beaten by Carlisle, the EFL’s only unbeaten side, 4-2 on Tuesday night in the Checkatrade Trophy, and Amadi-Holloway starred during his first 90 minutes of action since tearing a hamstring in August’s 2-1 defeat at Bolton.

However, despite the 23-year-old striker setting up both Fleetwood goals and completing the game unscathed, Martyn Woolford didn’t escape injury and faces time on the sidelines.

Rosler told the Blackpool Gazette: “That was obviously not planned.

“That was an injury, nothing to do with overload it was an impact injury.

“He over stretched I think in a dual and it is too early to say now what the outcome is but it is not what we hoped and fingers crossed that it is not serious.”

Amadi-Holloway’s return, however, was a massive positive,and he will be hoping to make tomorrow’s match-day squad for the trip to Port Vale, although Rosler is not getting too carried away.

“There is a way to go,” said Rosler, “It is good that he [Amadi-Holloway] got 90 minutes.

“I think off the ball much has to come more from him.

“But he knows that anyway. I think he is fitter now than he was before he got injured. He has put a lot of hard work in in the last weeks and that will pay dividends.

“For him it was important to play in a competitive game and I think he will benefit from that. Those minutes are important to get him closer to the squad for the weekends.”

Will Rosler’s side be able to pick up results despite their injury crisis? If you’re confident, why not put some money on it at Sun Bets
