Ryan Green is expected to miss more games for Bristol Rovers. The ex-Hereford United defender may require a skin graft to help the healing process after an injury in a Rovers game at Grimsby last month. Any graft could mean an extra few weeks side-lined.
"I went to clear the ball, kicked the bottom of North's boot and his studs went straight through my boot and right through to the bone," Green told the Western Daily Press.
"At first I didn't even realise what had happened and carried on playing for a couple of minutes, but then I looked down and saw my boot ripped open and bits of flesh hanging out.
"The doctor said to me the gash was only a fraction away from the nerves, so I'm lucky in a way, but it is not healing properly and there's a possibility I may need a skin graft. If that's the case, I may be looking at another month out."
