dailyrecord.co.uk

Hamilton Accies boss John Rankin has revealed new signing Lucas de Bolle has suffered a setback in his recovery from a concussion injury and warned they will need to wait patiently for him to make his debut.

The 19-year-old midfielder was a deadline day signing from Newcastle United last week, joining on loan until the end of the season, but he has yet to travel north to meet up with his new team-mates.

He was knocked out cold during a game for Newcastle last month and is still suffering from blurred vision. So any hopes Accies fans had of seeing the Scotland under-21 international in action imminently will need to be put on the back burner.

Rankin, whose side travel to Inverness on Saturday in the Championship, said: "Lucas had a setback from his concussion. "The way it is, Newcastle have put him back 24 hours in the stage of his protocol. "He was on a bike on Monday and we just need to go through the stages with him and hope that he recovers, and hopefully doesn't get any dizzy spells between now and the weekend. "He saw the opticians and they are clear it is nothing to do with his eye, so that is the good thing. "He's just having a recurrence of blurred vision so hopefully he can overcome that in the next couple of days. "I've spoken to him numerous times over the phone and he is really keen. "He is desperate to get here and play - and I know what that is like when you are a young boy.
