Injury update: Troy Brown facing spell on the sidelines following Colchester United match

Lee Holmes, Craig Woodman, David Wheeler and Tom McCready out of Crewe game

Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale has confirmed that Troy Brown is facing a spell on the sidelines after aggravating a hip-flexor injury in Saturday's 3-2 win over Colchester United.

Troy came on for the last 15 minutes of the match, despite failing a fitness test prior to kick-off, as the team were short of numbers in defence with Troy Archibald-Henville, Tom McCready, Craig Woodman all out injured.

"There's every chance we've aggravated Troy's hip-flexor injury, so that's a question mark," he said. "He's not going to be fit for a while and we've got no long-term indications yet on his return time."

Lee Holmes, Craig Woodman, David Wheeler and Tom McCready are all closing in on a return, but this Saturday's match at Gresty Road is a week too early.

"It's probably a game too soon for Lee Holmes, Craig Woodman, David Wheeler and Tom McCready," said Tis. "They're all definitely going to be another week at least.
"Troy Archibald-Henville will be two or three weeks, so I don't see any of those players who missed Colchester returning in time for this Saturday."
