North End blow as Potts suffers injury setback
Lancashire Evening Post
|October 03, 2025
Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom has confirmed an injury setback for Brad Potts.
The Lilywhites were preparing to welcome the No.44 back to action, with Potts having not featured yet in the 2025/26 season.
He suffered a hamstring injury in March and missed the rest of the previous campaign, but did feature against Bolton Wanderers in preseason.
Since then, though, the 31-year-old has been on the sidelines along with senior players Robbie Brady, Jordan Thompson and Will Keane.
Potts was said to be the next in line to return but Heckingbottom confirmed the bad news after Tuesday's 2-2 draw at Hull City.
