Impact Gordon may be heading towards the sidelines for a lengthy period, as he has now been confirmed to have suffered a serious knee injury. This seemed to be the problem when being attended to Monday, as he looked to be in a lot of pain walking off the pitch and when a physio appeared to touch his knee. The player still has yet to undergo testing, so a timetable for his return is still unknown, but based on the latest reports, we can rule him out until after the international break and most likely not expect him back until sometime in April, if at all.
