A spokesperson for Matt Wilson yesterday revealed that Tigers player Matt Wilson will miss the next 4 weeks of football with a Hairline Fracture in his left foot.
Wilson sustained the injury in Hykeham's solid 4-1 win against Arch Rivals Saxilby Athletic. Wilson was seen by doctors at Lincoln County Hospital on Monday, and originally they thought that the foot was broken and Wilson would have been lucky to play this side of Christmas. However, after seeing a specialist on Wednesday, Wilson was fortunate to find out he had only fractured the Navicular bone in his left foot and this should heal within 2-3 weeks, leaving Wilson a week or so to rehabilitate and then get back into playing.
This a huge blow for the Tiger's as Wilson and Dickinson had started to make what looked a solid partnership in the middle of the Midfield and manager Giovannetti was keen to keep the players together for this weekend's trip to AFC Red Lion
"Its a big blow for us. He (Wilson) is not just an asset on the pitch but off it as well, for all he has done for this team the lads have a huge amount of respect for him, and value his opinion."
Wilson however will not be too far away from the pitch Sunday, as he takes charge of the team while manager Giovannetti is on holiday.
