Negative!!! If Crichton fractured his metatarsal it requires a 10-12 week FULL recovery period. Being so young Crichton does not really need a full pre season. If Crichton however gets upset about reduced playing time or being rested he may want out. It will be impossible to live down the latter but easy to cope with the former. The last thing the increasingly desperate Crisps need is for Crichton to flee.You would obviously talk to him about it first mate. Ask him if he wants to keep playing 80 minutes but warn him it's not a good idea...
If Crichton breaks his foot that completely destroys his preseason and thus his development as a future origin player..
