Birmingham City midfielder George Hall has suffered a succession of hamstring injuries in the last two years.
Birmingham City are nursing George Hall back to fitness after the precocious youngster suffered another hamstring injury while on loan at Walsall.
Hall returned to the Blues last month after sustaining an injury in training on the eve of Walsall’s victory over Barrow on December 14. The midfielder had recently found success with League Two leaders Walsall, with two goals and two assists in 12 appearances.
Walsall manager Mat Sadler now expects Hall to be out until late March, rather than six to eight weeks as previously expected.
“That’s what we thought initially (that he’d be out for six to eight weeks) but he saw another consultant when was back at Birmingham and had a surgery on his hamstring which hopefully will provide the real answers he has needed,” Sadler told the Express & Star.
“He’s another one that we’re hopeful of getting back before the end of the season and nothing would please me more to see him back with us.”
Hall has been blighted by hamstring issues for two years now and faces another season with limited minutes on the pitch. Since bursting onto the scene in 2022/23 and winning Blues’ Young Player of the Year award, Hall has only made 15 league appearances – eight substitute outings for Blues last term and seven games in League Two for Walsall.
