Manager Nigel Adkins confirmed after his side's 2-0 loss at West Bromwich Albion that on-loan defender Brendan Moloney will miss Saturday's away clash at Leicester.

The Nottingham Forest man could be out for longer too but it's a case of assessing the injury over the next 48 hours.

He hobbled off midway through the first half of Tuesday night's defeat at the Hawthorns.



Speaking on The Iron Player, Adkins said: "Brendan has opened his knee joint out. His medial ligament is damaged and it looks like a bad one.

"He won't be fit for the weekend. We'll take a better look at it over the next couple of days.

"The injury doesn't look too good at this moment in time, which is a shame."
