Injured his Achilles again and won’t play at all this season. He’s out of contract in the summer so his future is up in the air.

George Carline

Last season’s player of the year suffered a bad knee injury against Wrexham in October. He had hoped to be back around March but it now looks like he will not play again this campaign.

His operation on his fractured leg and dislocated ankle was a success. The striker will be in a race against time to get back fit before the end of the season.

Not injured but he is suspended for the next two matches against Yeovil Town and Notts County.
