Richard Foster’s season looks to be over, with manager Tommy Wright revealing a hamstring tear is expected to keep the St Johnstone defender out for 12 weeks.
“It’s very unfortunate and adds to what has been a poor year for us injury-wise,” said Wright.
“We’re still fresh from the news that Stefan Scougall is out for a lengthy period only to be given the news about Richard.
“It’s a grade three hamstring tear and it’s come as a shock as it didn’t look too bad at the time but I think the position he was in as it happened and the fact that he was pulled back has compounded the injury. We’re looking at 12 weeks which is effectively the rest of the campaign.
“I’m very disappointed for Richard as he looked to be back to his best and he is a versatile player for us. However, Aaron Comrie is available and Keith Watson should be back training in a week so hopefully can cope.”
