Shrewsbury's Aaron Wildig ruled out "for months"

The midfielder was stretchered off in Town's 1-0 League One win over Notts County this afternoon with his leg in a brace to dampen the hosts' celebrations.

Adam Reach's winner clinched victory for Town but Turner revealed he expects the worse when Wildig's injury is fully assessed.

"It looks bad. It looks as though it's going to be months rather than weeks because he's damaged some ligaments. I've had the opportunity to watch the tackle in slow motion - it is a bad tackle. There's no disguising, he caught him knee high and on another day the lad would've been sent off.

"It looks quite bleak for Aaron, which is unfortunate for him and unfortunate for us. The manner in which he's got his injury is appalling and it's left us without Aaron's services for a potential number of months."

Victory lifted Shrewsbury to 14th in League One and Turner hailed the win against rock-bottom County.

"To finish the week with the three points and a massive win for us has made it a pleasant afternoon," he said.

"It was a bit heart stopping late on with one or two things in and around our area, but I think we should've sealed the game earlier. We had a lot of good opportunities to secure the points."
