From the Treatment Room

By Ian Appleyard | 7th August 2017

First-team physio Mat Johnson has given an insight into the injuries currently hampering the progress of Hamza Bencherif and Michael Rankine.

Defender Bencherif was substituted against AFC Telford United last weekend due to a shoulder problem and striker Rankine played no part in the game after failing a lunchtime fitness test on a hamstring strain.

Both players are doubts for tomorrow night's National League North fixture at Blyth Spartans (kick-off 7.45pm) but Johnson feels that Bencherif is more likely to be involved than Rankine.
