Chris Humphrey will be missing for 6 weeks after having his jaw broken in the game away to Lincoln City.

Chris picked up the injury after around 10 minutes when he was caught in the jaw by a challenge from Lincoln's Daniel Hone.

Hump played on despite the pain but after an x-ray on Saturday night it now means Town will be missing the exciting winger: "It is going to be about 4 to 6 weeks that Chris will be out and that is a big blow for us and for him.

"The disappointing thing about it is that the challenge that Richie Walker got sent off for everyone is telling me it was a nothing challenge and not an elbow. I've watched the DVD after the game and the challenge on Chris Humphrey is a really aggressive challenge. The lad has smashed him on the jaw and broken it in two places.

"It shows the character that Chris has as he wanted to carry on and we even got their doctor to examine him at half-time.

"He went to the hospital on Saturday night and they have wired his jaw, he's seen the specialist today and at first we were told it would be about 8 weeks but now it will be 4 to 6 weeks.

"It's a blow as he was getting into some kind of form and was doing well in the first team so hopefully he can get over this and back into the side."
