Luke Hubbins out of last two games for AFC Telford
AFC Telford utility player Luke Hubbins has been ruled out of the Bucks' remaining two games this season because of a knee injury.
The versatile former Birmingham City man, who has played as a defender, midfielder and striker at different times this season, has missed the last seven games because of a lateral ligament problem.
Bucks caretaker boss John Psaras hoped he could recover in time for the final few games of the season.
But the injury is still affecting his movement and Psaras has conceded that he will not be in contention for either Saturday's trip to Ebbsfleet or the home clash with Hereford United on the final day of the season.
Psaras said it was a shame for the player to have been ruled out for the season but admitted it would not affect his planning for the forthcoming games.
"Since I have been caretaker manager he hasn't played for me (because of the injury) so he has not been in my plans," said Psaras.
Hubbins is one of several players within the team to have been ruled out for the remainder of the season in recent weeks.
Defender Michael Briscoe was ruled out with a leg injury on Saturday after suffering ligament damage following a collision with Dartford striker Jason Prior.
And Richard Davies was ruled out following surgery to help clean bone chips from an ankle injury that has kept him out since December.
But Psaras hopes to have a handful of other injured players back for the weekend.
Striker Steve Jones (calf), Ian Craney (groin) and Dan Preston (back) missed last Saturday's 2-0 home defeat to Dartford.
But Psaras said: "Steve had treatment on Saturday and he is a possibility for Ebbsfleet. Ian Craney is a possibility to be fit and Dan Preston is also a possibility.
"He didn't make the bench on Saturday but he had treatment on Thursday. I am expecting him to be fit for this Saturday."
Midfielder Jay Smith is expected to be unavailable for the Ebbsfleet clash because of an ongoing knee injury. Ryan Valentine is struggling with a groin injury.
But Simon Ford came though his 20-minute substitute appearance against Dartford without any ill effects from his recent hamstring injury.
