Young Liverpool Herbie Kane sees promising season threatened by groin injury

The young Liverpool, Herbie Kane, on loan to Doncaster Rovers, could miss the rest of the season, as a groin injury threatens to derail the promising midfielder Ligue 1 campaign.

The 20-year-old returned from his loan agreement to sign a new contract with the Reds in December before returning to Doncaster for the remainder of the season.

Kane flourished with regular first-team football, scoring seven goals and adding nine badists for League One.

However, the decisive campaign was hampered by groin troubles, and coach Grant McCann announced that the midfielder would be out six weeks after the Rovers' 4-0 defeat at Luton Town on Saturday .

According to the Doncaster Free Press, McCann said: "Herbie will be away for about six weeks.

"Herbie did another part of her groin. He has a tear of 10 cm in the groin. "

Kane's injury comes at the worst possible time for Doncaster, as the club tries to secure a playoff spot, falling to a point of sixth in Peterborough with one game less.

the Liverpool Loanee could still play a triumphant role this season, as the six-week schedule lets the midfielder come back after the end of the League One regular season, while Doncaster is aiming to play a play-off game until May Championship berth.
