Tomato Plant sucker pruning

cram1971

Hi,

I have been away for two weeks and my greenhouse tomatoes have been water well but the suckers were not pinched out and some of them are as thick as the main stem, is it to late to prune them now? could pruning them leave the wound open to disease?

Thanks

Marc
