'Struggling to walk' - Doncaster Rovers await further injury update regarding out-on-loan man
Doncaster Rovers are awaiting a fresh update regarding the severity of an injury suffered by Bobby Faulkner.
The centre-half is out on loan at League Two club Harrogate Town. After a slow start to his career with the Sulphurites, he's been a virtual ever-present since early September.
But Harrogate's midweek EFL Trophy win over Newcastle United's under-21s came at a cost, with a glut of injuries sustained by the North Yorkshire side. That included a late blow when Faulkner exited the action in the final few minutes of the contest.
The 21-year-old is understood to have suffered a hamstring complaint, with Harrogate boss Simon Weaver saying in the immediate aftermath that "Bobby was struggling to walk, so that's not a good sign."
Speaking to the media on Friday lunchtime, Rovers chief Grant McCann says they are now awaiting the results of a scan on Faulkner.
"I think Bobby has picked up a pretty bad injury that is maybe going to keep him out for a sustained period of time," he told the Free Press. "We'll not know until he gets his scan (results) which is today (Friday)."
