Oxford's Bradshaw to miss 'weeks' with injury
Tom Bradshaw joined Oxford in January, signing from Millwall

Oxford United boss Gary Rowett has said that he expects striker Tom Bradshaw to be out for "a good few weeks".
The striker was left out of Oxford's squad in their scoreless draw with Derby County on Tuesday night because of an injury to his MCL (medial collateral ligament).
"I don't think he's going to be back quickly," Rowett told BBC Radio Oxford.
"I think it will be a matter of weeks, a good few weeks. It's disappointing for us."
Bradshaw signed for Oxford from Millwall midway through January and has since made five appearances and is still yet to score for the U's.
This setback leaves Oxford with just one senior striker in Mark Harris after loanee striker Dane Scarlett was recalled by his parent club Tottenham Hotspur.
Rowett has only lost one Championship match since his appointment and his team are 16th, nine points above the relegation zone.
