Ghana goalkeeper Richard Kingson will be reinstated in the Blackpool starting line-up for Saturday\u2019s league match against Aston Villa after losing Paul Rachubka to injury.
\nKingson is Blackpool\u2019s last remaining option in goal with fellow shot-stopper Matt Gilks still on the treatment table but his recent slump in form is a major concern.
\nRachubka, who replaced Kingson as number one last week and tasted a 5-3 defeat at Everton, suffered a potentially serious damage to his right knee in Thursday\u2019s training session for the Seasiders.
\nThe 29-year-old appears to have aggravated the same problem which kept him out of action for the first-half of the season and the Tangerines are now awaiting the assessments.
\nBlackpool are seeking permission from the Premier League to sign a new goalkeeper. And manager Ian Holloway is hoping to be allowed to bring a new custodian to Bloomfield Road on an emergency-loan basis. \u201cWe are going to have to try,\u201d Holloway said. \u201cRichard won\u2019t mind me saying this \u2013 he is probably more patched up than anybody I\u2019ve got in my squad.
\n\u201cHe is a wonderful lad, but he was injured last week when he split his head open, and he had a bad knee the week before that. \u201cSo I think we can easily prove that we are a little bit short and hopefully common sense will prevail. \u201cWe reported it straight away and I\u2019m sure we can prove we need another one in \u2013 it\u2019s just who, and from where.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
