FOOTBALL: Northern Ireland striker Liam Boyce out for season
Burton Albion striker Liam Boyce will not play for most of the season after suffering a serious knee injury.
Boyce became Burton’s record signing when he signed on a three-year contract from Ross County in June.
But now the Northern Ireland forward will miss “most of the season” with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
The injury was sustained during a 1-0 pre-season friendly defeat by Shrewsbury on Saturday.
Boyce was the Scottish Premiership’s top scorer with 23 goals last season, but is yet to make his competitive debut for Burton.
