Barnsley's pre-season plans have been thrown into disarray with the news that striker Daniel Nardiello have been ruled out of action for 6 weeks with a fractured collarbone.
Nardiello was taken to Hospital today after falling awkwardly on his shoulder in training
With just 4 weeks until the Big Kick-Off against Cardiff, it means Nads will have had just ONE WEEK of pre-season and will be woefully unfit once he recovers.
Ritchie MUST now step up his chase for a new striker as the club currently only has Marc Richards, Tommy Wright and Michael Coulson to choose from unless Paul Hayes moves back from the wing.
