And with it, Green Lions boss Tony Vance faces a dilemma as he searches for a new goalkeeper – whether it be local or English – for his side’s tough run of away fixtures.
It was only last week when GFC, through goalkeeping coach Chris Tardif, announced that 17-year-old Dennis was to extend his successful loan deal from AFC Bournemouth for the remainder of this campaign.
However, that assumption has changed in recent days, with the Premier League club instead choosing to loan the teenager out to Evo-Stik Premier club Weymouth.
It was then hoped by GFC and Tardif, who has been instrumental in the continuing link with Bournemouth, one of his own former clubs, that Callum Stanton would return to Guernsey to resume his own loan deal that was curtailed by injury in October.
But since then there has been a mini injury crisis at the south coast club and they have decided that Stanton will not be loaned out – leaving GFC without a loan keeper of any description.
‘It just goes to show how quickly things can change in football,’ said Tardif yesterday, hours after learning that neither Dennis or Stanton will be a Green Lion any longer.
‘Bournemouth have been brilliant with us all season, but it is just part of football that injuries happen and those kind of things cannot be helped.'
