Blackpool winger Henry Cameron out for up to six weeks

Championship strugglers Blackpool have confirmed that teenage winger Henry Cameron will miss up to six weeks of action because of ankle ligament damage.

The 17-year-old suffered the injury during the key relegation scrap against Wigan Athletic on Saturday, which Blackpool lost 3-1.

"It was a twist of his ankle and he also got a kick on it," Tangerines boss Lee Clark told the club website ahead of tomorrow night's trip to Birmingham City.

"He's got a few ligaments that are damaged in his ankle and it's quite sore and bruised at the moment.

"It's a big blow to us because the lad has been doing terrifically well. When you consider it's his first time in first-team football, he's handled the technical and mental sides of it really well."

Cameron has started six of Blackpool's seven games since making his first-team debut at the end of January.
