Chesterfield defender Ash Palmer is set for a long spell in the treatment room.The centre-back will be out for months rather than weeks and will have to have his knee in a brace.
He came off in the defeat to Sheffield United earlier in pre-season and he has been to see two specialists who have given ‘slightly different verdicts,’ assistant manager Danny Webb said.
He continued: “Ash Palmer is mixed news. Probably a little bit worse than we thought. I think he has got a few more meetings with specialists. He is going to have to have his knee put in a brace, sadly, so it is definitely months as opposed to weeks, and quite a few months as well.
