Stenhousemuir have ruled out midfielder Bryan Hodge for at least another month following the dislocated shoulder he suffered at Dunfermline on September 13.
The 26-year-old former Blackburn Rovers, Partick Thistle, Morton and Brechin player was taken off after just three minutes and manager Scott Booth has now confirmed there will be no quick return.
Booth said: “It will be at least another month before we have Bryan back. It is disappointing as he is one of our most experienced players - we had hoped it might be quicker but we will just have to get on with things.”
