The tear is in the other leg to the one which Matt injured previously and he will be out for three months. He will spend the next 4-6 weeks in a protective boot. He had a sugar injection on Thursday to help relieve the pain.

Matt told the club website: “I just felt it go on Monday during training. I’m absolutely devastated and I cannot believe my luck at the moment with injuries.

“Since I came back I’ve loved helping the boys so this is a real blow. For a couple of days this week as you can imagine I was pretty low but I can promise the fans that I will be working hard to make sure this is the last of my injuries.”

Head Coach Dermot Drummy said: “It’s really bad news for Matt and the group as a whole. He has been extremely unlucky with injuries and is going to be a big loss while he recovers.

"We just hope that when he comes back it will be the end of his bad luck and he can play a full part for us in the last few months of the season.”
