Inverness Caledonian Thistle evaluates trial players while managing injury concerns.

Topics covered
Inverness Caledonian Thistle, a prominent team in Scotland’s League One, is currently navigating a challenging period as they assess new talent while managing a series of player injuries. Recently, three players have been on trial with the club, including goalkeeper Yan Gromov from Cumbernauld Colts, right-back Diste Camara Sylla from Civil Service Strollers, and forward Malick Diakite from Squires Gate.
However, the club is unable to sign new players until after their administration process is resolved.
Trial players showcase potential amid recruitment restrictions
The trials have been an opportunity for these athletes to showcase their skills, as highlighted by agent Mark Agg-Jones, who shared a photo of the trio in ICT kits.
He emphasized the importance of seizing opportunities and the support from their current clubs. Head coach Scott Kellacher and his staff evaluated a range of players last week at Highland Rugby Club, but the club’s current restrictions limit their ability to recruit new talent.
Injury concerns complicate team dynamics
As the team focuses on improving their goal-scoring rate, they are also awaiting news on injured striker Alfie Bavidge. The 18-year-old, who has been a key player since joining on loan from Aberdeen, suffered a hamstring injury during a recent match against Stenhousemuir. Prior to his injury, Bavidge had scored six goals in just nine appearances, significantly contributing to the team’s recent successes. With only six fixtures remaining, the pressure is on the team to maintain their position above the relegation zone.
Team resilience and upcoming challenges
Despite the setbacks, Kellacher remains optimistic about his team’s ability to adapt. With players like Musa Dibaga returning from international duty, the squad is eager to demonstrate their depth and resilience. Dibaga’s experience with the Gambian national team has boosted morale, and his presence is expected to strengthen the team’s performance. As they prepare to face Queen of the South, Kellacher is looking for his players to step up and contribute goals across the pitch, emphasizing the need for a collective effort in the upcoming matches.
Inverness has previously faced Queen of the South with mixed results, having won twice at home but losing in a thrilling encounter at Palmerston. As both teams aim for victory, fans can expect an exciting match that showcases the determination and skill of the players involved.
