Fleetwood Town will be without Ryan Graydon for six weeks after he sustained a hamstring injury in their defeat by Colchester United.

The 25-year-old forward, who has scored 13 goals this term including six in his past six games, will now be absent for much of their end-of-season run-in.

"It's really disappointing. If you look at the players who have been at the front of scoring goals for us this season," boss Pete Wild said., external

"With both of our front players out injured, it's a huge blow. But it does give our younger strikers the chance going into the final month to make their names known."
