Assistant manager Ian Hendon is on crutches and in plaster for 10 days after a major operation on his left ankle.
 
The 36-year-old Hendon, who returns to see the surgeon next week, said: "I thought it was a minor operation, but it was far more serious than I anticipated".
 
Despite the setback, Hendon will be at the training ground when the players report back for fitness tests next week.
 
He collected his injury in a training ground clash with former player Stephane Seanla.
