David Bridges has missed the last two matches after injuring his shoulder in the win at Woking ten days ago.

He had x-rays after the match, which ruled out a fracture, but saw consultant orthopaedic surgeon Mr Tytherleigh-Strong last week, when he also had a MRI scan.

"Bridgo had a follow up appointment on Tuesday," reports physio Greg Reid, "when we reviewed the results of the MRI scan taken last week and I'm pleased to say that he does not require surgery.

"During last week, as the bruising and swelling began to absorb, it became apparent that he had also suffered a brachial plexus neuropraxia, which is the same injury as Scott Howie suffered earlier this season but more severe.

"Mr Tytherleigh-Strong is happy for us to continue our treatment plan, and today David carried out some light running without any adverse reaction."
