Zieler suffers break

[Elliott]

United can confirm goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler has broken a bone in his arm.

Zieler, a German youth international, suffered the injury in the Reserves’ 3-3 draw at St James’ Park on Monday night.

With the Reds leading 1-0 in the first half, the 20-year-old stopper punched clear a cross but simultaneously collided with a Newcastle attacker. He received lengthy treatment by the side of the pitch before being replaced by Conor Devlin.

Zieler, who enjoyed a loan spell earlier this season at Northampton Town, will be further assessed on Wednesday 1 April.

Very unlucky. He looked so gutted.

Hope he heals quickly

 

[Name Changed]

Shit. Unlucky for the lad. I hope his recovery goes ok.

 

[Anderson Searl]

What's the debate over this lad? United quality? Filling spots in our system?

Shame about his injury but maybe this will bring some clarity as to hsi role for us...

Too early to know, what with Amos currently occupying the position behind our three first team strikers.

Going to assume you mean keepers

So basically VDS > PIG/Foster > Amos > Zieler?

A year and two months, effectively a year in footballing terms.

I think Devlin might just be the most promising keeper of the lot.

Only times I have seen him this season he has made some terrible howlers. I cannot make an overall opinion though.

I think one of these young goalkeepers might need to make the step up to third choice. I cannot see PIG being at the club much longer.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

I just figures he's got more of a presence about him than the other lads.

Amos is a much better player right now though. We've got some good young keepers at the club

 

[PS18]

Devlin's solid enough but probably the least promising keeper on our books right now (including Sam Johnstone).

 

[FlawlessThaw]

Was never that impressed by Devlin but that save he made in the first half was out of this world.

 

[Anderson Searl]

I think Devlin might just be the most promising keeper of the lot.

What i've heard but since I started keeping track on him he's been in bad form.

Tbf you should never listen to an Irishman's opinion on an Irish player. See Dunne, Richard.

Injured still I think. Should be back very soon though no? Pretty good season up til that.
