Where does a club stand on insurance regarding trialist players playing matches? What happens if they suffer a career ending injury whilst playing in a match unsigned?

Career ending injuries are covered by the PFA, rather than clubs and most footballers aren’t insured (at least not outside the Premier League).

That's nuts that they're not insured. I dont understand why you wouldn't take out a policy. If you're on upwards of 7k pw you could retire a millionaire if you're sensible. One bad injury and your coaching Grimsby under 18s for £400 a week until your 65.
 
It’s a completely different team second half and Henriksen will probably be captain.
Didn’t Mac say neither Hendrickson and Grosicki will not play due to only just arriving to pre-season, had extra rest due to involvement in their countries games.
