Shrewsbury Town's Jack Gwilliams booked in for an op
Shrewsbury Town winger Jack Gwilliams will require surgery to remedy his knee injury.
The Shrewsbury-born former youth team player signed his first professional contract in the summer, having been handed a first team number last season while still a second-year scholar.
But his season has so far been blighted by the injury and he will have to go under the knife to cure the problem.
Manager Graham Turner said: "He is due to have surgery. I think the arrangements are being made now.
"The medical department are just sorting out surgery for him and he will be away for quite some time."
Meanwhile, the club's youth team defeated Wigan Athletic on Saturday 3-2.
Goals from Scott Ryan, Sam Molyneux and Kaiman Anderson saw the hosts home.
