Shrewsbury Town hoping for good news on Aaron Wildig injury

Wildig suffered a suspected posterior knee ligament injury in Saturday's 1-0 home victory over Notts County.

Town manager Graham Turner had initially feared the former Cardiff City player could be sidelined for several months as a result of the setback, which he suffered in a foul tackle by County midfielder Andre Boucard.

But it is now understood that the injury may not be quite a serious as first thought, with heavy bruising to the knee joint but no tear of the ligament.

Wildig has received messages from fans following the injury, which saw him miss Town's 2-1 defeat to Oldham on Tuesday. And he took to Twitter earlier this week to thank them for their support.
