Injury Groin
Est. Return 8/30/2025
Receives scan
Ballard (groin) is still awaiting the results of his scans, and the status of his injury remains unclear, according to manager Regis Le Bris.
ANALYSIS
Ballard went down over the weekend with an apparent groin injury and is still not clear on his status ahead of Saturday's match, with the defender still awaiting the results of his scans. The hope will be that his issues are minor, as he is a regular starter this campaign. He was replaced by Jenson Seelt on Saturday, a possible replacement moving forward if Ballard is sidelined.
