Fingers crossed for Sam Winnall after injury

The 21-year-old, who has joined Graham Turner's men from Wolves, limped out of last night's goalless draw at Brentford in the first half with a hamstring problem.

The striker is hopeful the injury isn't too serious but will undergo further assessments today.

"It's not nice having to come off injured early on, especially when I haven't been here a week yet," he said.

"The first signs don't look too bad but we will know more today.

"I spoke to Skitty (Town physio, Chris Skitt) and he said it wasn't right to assess it last night.

"Hopefully it won't be too bad and I can be back as quickly as possible."

Winnall admits he is disappointed that his hopes of making a big impression at the Greenhous Meadow have, for the time being at least, been hindered by injury.

"It's frustrating because in the short period I've been here I've really enjoyed it," he added. "It''s good I got myself into the team and I was starting to really enjoy my football.

"I've had a bit of a setback but hopefully it won't be too long and I can come back stronger and get myself back in the side."

Town boss Graham Turner admitted Winnall could struggle to be in contention for Saturday's testing trip to Doncaster.

"We don't know how serious it is yet but the fact he has come off means he must be doubtful for the next couple of games," he said.

Meanwhile, Turner, who saw his side move up one spot to 15th in League One, confirmed that the decision to drop on-loan defender Michael Hector to the bench for last night's game was tactical.

The resulting reshuffle saw new Town loanee Lee Collins move to centre-half, captain Matt Richards dropped to left- back and that allowed Mark Wright to earn a recall on the left wing.
