Aldershot Town suffer double injury setback

Aldershot Town duo Josh Brooking and Olly Scott have both suffered serious long-term injuries before the Shots' season-opener at Altrincham on Saturday.

Summer signing Brooking will miss most of the campaign after the defender ruptured his Achilles in the Shots' first pre-season game at Badshot Lea last month.

Left wing-back Scott has undergone surgery for a second time after suffering a recurrence of the dislocated shoulder he first injured last season in training.
