Hartlepool United top scorer Tyler Burey has this message for fans after injury blow

Burey has made a fine start to life at Pools on loan from Millwall with three goals and an assist in his first four League Two starts.

But a hamstring injury picked up during Saturday’s 1-0 defeat against Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park means he is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines following results of a scan on Monday morning.

Hartlepool manager Dave Challinor speculated that the young winger could be out for up to 12 weeks.

As a result, Pools’ forward line will require a reshuffle heading in to Saturday’s clash against Bristol Rovers at Victoria Park (3pm kick-off).

Posting on his Instagram page, Burey said: “Thank you for all the well wishes, gutted to of picked up injury with my start at Hartlepool.

"Hard to process my feelings into words but it’s just a part of the game you can’t control, the comeback is on & I will be back stronger @hartlepoolunited.”
