Histon captain Omer Riza  has broken his foot and could face months on the sidelines.


An X-ray yesterday revealed a fracture, and Riza will visit a specialist today.
However, the skipper is not optimistic about the outcome.
"I’ll see the specialist and take it from there," said Riza, who only put pen to paper on a new deal at the Glass World Stadium on Friday.
"The ball went through and I beat the defender. The keeper came out and there was a mix-up between the two of them. The keeper didn’t get the ball and got me flush on the foot.

"I put ice on it after the game and had an X-ray yesterday, and it’s looking like a fracture, which I was hoping it wouldn’t be. The referee said afterwards that he was sorry if he’d missed it, which isn’t really any good to anyone.
"It’s disappointing, but what can you do? That’s football."

Lewis Taaffe could now get a run in David Livermore’s team up front with Dan Holman – who has scored two in two Blue Square Bet North games – starting with the trip to Altrincham on Saturday.

I'm still confused as to how Histon continue to exist and keep hold of players.

Riza : Ah...reports indicate he won't play, but as expected his layoff can now be measured in days and not weeks.....it's an old bluff that the 'pro' teams use, especially before they come to Moss Lane

"I’m hoping I could be back for next Saturday (at home to Corby), but I don’t know if the physio is going to be a bit more conservative about it.

"As soon as I haven’t got any pain, I’ll be back in training."
Riza feared he could out for three months.
He added: "I’ve taken the cast off it and although it is bruised and swollen, I’ve been able to put weight on it.
"I even rang the physio yesterday because I wanted to have a little jog on it, but that’s me probably rushing it a little bit.
"I just want to get back in the team, because you get in the rhythm when you’re playing and I don’t want to lose that."


Meanwhile, Riza will be delivering tickets to Histon and Impington residents ahead of the Corby game following the success of a similar initiative before last Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Blyth.

He said: "I’ll be going house to house, and any lucky person who answers the door will get a ticket to the match.
"I gave out 200 a couple of days before the Blyth game, and 100-odd of those came, so hopefully that will continue because we want to get as many people in the stands as we can."
