Jeremiah Mullen, a Leeds United teenager, has suffered a back injury while on loan with Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
Mullen will miss the rest of the season with a stress fracture, ending his time in the Highlands with former Everton caretaker Duncan Ferguson. The Scot confirmed Mullen’s departure was a huge ‘hit’ to Caley Thistle, who had signed the young defender on loan for the remainder of the season in January. “Jeremiah, who we signed on loan from Leeds United, has a stress fracture in his back and is out for the season. “That’s a huge blow for us because he’s a good young player,” Ferguson told the Inverness Courier. Mullen made four starts in the Scottish Championship and Scottish Cup before his injury. Inverness is ninth in Scotland’s second division, seven points behind Arbroath in last place.
Given the severity of his injuries and the amount of time he will be sidelined, the 19-year-old is anticipated to continue his recovery at Thorp Arch.
