Newcastle Jets have suffered a significant blow as their star player, Wes Hoolahan, has been ruled out due to injury and will be sidelined until next year. This loss is a major setback for the team, as Hoolahan is a key figure in their lineup. His absence will impact the Jets’ performance in the A-League, and the team will need to adjust their strategies to cope without him. Fans and the club are hopeful for his full recovery and return in the new year.
Jets lose Hoolahan until 2020
The 37-year-old suffered the injury during the Jets’ 1-0 FFA Cup quarter-final loss to Adelaide United on September 17.
“Estimated return to play timeframes will be established by the club’s medical staff in consultation with the surgeon,” the Jets said in a statement.
Hoolahan has played extensively in the Premier League with Norwich while also scoring for the Republic of Ireland at Euro 2016.
