“ RUBIN COLWILL “
Brian Barry-Murphy will now have to find a new way to inject that creativity and replace the threat the mercurial academy product provides, with the head coach confirming Colwill will miss 10 to 12 weeks.
“ Rubin's timescale will be 10 to 12 weeks.”
"There's a discussion over the next 24 hours about whether he will have surgery or not. So by the time we come to the post-match press conference on Saturday, I'll be able to say that.
"But I think for the next 24 hours, he's going to make that decision based on, what he feels is best and the advice from James Rowland, our medical specialist.
"If he doesn't have surgery, you would be looking on the lower end, so looking at 10 weeks, if he does have surgery, you'll be looking at 12 to 13.
"When an injury of that nature occurs it's very disappointing for Rubin and for his team-mates. But once you get over the first couple of days, you quickly start to look at the recovery period and the timescales involved and start to see the opportunity that it provides for the rest of the squad, but also for him to come back in a much better position, physically, than he is at the moment."
