Barnet January squad plans after Kabongo Tshimanga injury, Digi Mart USA News: Barnet manager Dean Brennan says he will look to add players to his squad in January, and described the absence of star striker Kabongo Tshimanga as an “absolute killer”.
Tshimanga, 29, is the leading scorer in League Two with 10 goals in 13 appearances. Brennan last week revealed he would be out “for a while” with a knee injury.
The Bees boss has now confirmed Tshimanga will be sidelined for three months. He suggested the absence was behind their 80 minutes of toil before they finally broke down Tranmere Rovers in Saturday’s FA Cup win.
“Not having Kabby for probably the next three months is an absolute killer for the football club,” Brennan told BBC Radio London.
“You could see against Tranmere that we were wasteful in front of goal. We lacked real killer quality and were naive at times.
“I’m not blaming Jack Maskell, he’s starting out on his journey. But obviously Kabby’s a seasoned player, so that’s a concern for me.
“We’re already planning for January. That plan started last week, and we will bring players in in January.”
