Roman Kienast abrupt trial exit
Roman Kienast abrupt exit on Tuesday nights reserve game with Arsenal after pulling a hamstring just 18 minutes into the match.
The 24-year-old Austrian international had been hoping to impress City boss Glenn Roeder on a trail that could have led to a contract although he claimed that he was in no hurry.
However, the striker, who is currently on loan with Helsingborgs IF from Ham-Kam, pulled a hamstring just 18 minutes into the match.
Kienast Said “I pulled it and couldn’t play anymore,” he told Hamar Arbeidarblad. “This sums up my 2008 footballing year pretty well.
“I’m going home to Vienna for treatment. I’m aiming to be back at 100 per cent in January.”
Kienast was immediately withdrawn from the match and is now heading back home for treatment.
The 6 foot tall forward would have been the type of player that Roeder has looked for since the beginning of the season and has a estimated price tag of between £500k and £1m.
