Eagles striker set for surgery

The 22-year-old suffered a freak injury while on loan at Brighton when, during the final game of last season, he collided with a goalpost and snapped his cruciate knee ligament. "Devastated isn't the word and I am still trying to get my head around it," the former Luton frontman told the Croydon Guardian. "I know I have got the attributes to get in the team, but unfortunately I now won't be able to take part in the start of the season."
