    There have been some weird and wonderful ways for footballers to get injured over the years and now Carlisle United's Harvey Macadam can join the list.

    The midfielder was back in his first training session, recovering from a thigh injury that delayed his start to the new season.

    In chasing to keep a ball in play, the 25-year-old went to backheel it back onto the pitch and ended up suffering a hamstring injury.

    "He's done quite a bit of damage, so he's going to be quite a few weeks," Carlisle head coach Rob Elliot told BBC Radio Cumbria.

    "Harvey's a big, strong lad, he's quite robust so we'll see what the timeline is but it's not going to be in the near future."

    Carlisle have a busy September with six matches, and Macadam is now likely to miss all of them.

    He has played once for his parent club and spent last season on loan with Truro City in the National League and then Cheltenham Town in League Two.

    "We're delighted to sign Cole," said Hartlepool head coach Lee Clark.

    "He's someone we've had an eye on for a while, and we've seen how well he did at Cheltenham.

    "He's also gained experience in this league with Truro, and the staff at West Brom speak really highly of him."

    The 22-year-old has played 83 games for the Royals, including 22 League One appearances last season.

    Forest Green Rovers winger Joshua Osude is set to miss more than two months after falling while getting out of the shower and partially rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament.

    The 27-year-old has featured in all five National League matches so far this season for Robbie Savage's side, scoring a goal in the 2-1 win at Worthing.

    "He came in on Tuesday morning because we were in for a debrief, warm-down and recovery and Josh, who has been a shining light for us this season, said 'I've got out the shower, slipped, knee swollen up' and he's got a partial rupture of his ACL," Savage told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.

    "Not good news - he's going to be out for eight to 12 weeks."
