Preston North End forward Seanie Maguire's injured hamstring is a lot worse than initially feared according to club manager Alex Neil.
Sean Maguire was substituted in the lilywhites final pre-season game of the summer against Oldham Athletic on Saturday and scans have revealed damage to his hamstring. Neil said that they initially took Maguire off as a precaution but that the scans have revealed that his injury is a lot worse than the club would have expected.“Sean was taken off as a precaution, we didn’t think much of it," Neil told the club's website. "Because of his history, we got him scanned and it’s come back a lot worse than what we thought. He will be missing for the best part of a couple of months. “It’s really bad luck, he was feeling the best he’s ever felt physically and now this has happened which is a huge blow for us and the club."https://twitter.com/Seani_Maguire_/status/1024664746174373889 Maguire wrote on his Twitter account concerning the injury:"Can’t put into words how sickened I am about the injury. "But there is no doubt I’ll be working twice as hard to come back stronger and fitter!"
