Callum Slattery has suffered a serious knee injury in training that will prevent him for featuring for the rest of the season.
The centre midfielder picked up the injury during a training session last week.
“First off, I want to wish Callum the very best in his recovery,” manager Stuart Kettlewell said.
“Losing him is a massive blow for the team and the nature he has picked up this injury only makes the situation worse for the player.
“We’ve not had our problems to seek with regards to injuries this season and this is another hurdle we have to deal with.
“Callum will now begin his recovery and the staff here will look after him every step of the way and I have no doubts, with the Callum’s attitude and strong mentality, he will come back stronger and ready to go.”
Speedy recovery, Callum.
