Ireland striker set for significant spell on the sidelines after injuring himself during goal celebration
“He’s had his scans and whatnot,” said Preston manager Ryan Lowe. “It’s not as bad as we first thought, but we’re obviously in dialogue with Tottenham Hotspur as well now because he’s their player.
“I think the World Cup’s come at a good time for Troy because he will miss a large part, but the fact of the matter is we’ve got that break. “We won’t have him for the foreseeable future, but after the World Cup when we’re back in action, hopefully he’s back fit and ready, so it’ll give us enough time not to rush.
“I’m gutted for Troy because obviously he just scored his first Championship goal as well. Although he’s been out of the team, he’s been fantastic. “He’s alright, he’s in good spirits now. He’s got over it, and we’ve just got to make sure he’s alright for the next time he’s available.”
