Herd: 'I felt my left hamstring go'

As reported yesterday full back Johnny Herd limped off in the 31st minute of Saturday's cup tie at Gillingham and it's now been confirmed that he will be out for up to a month.

Johnny told the official site: "It's not as bad as first feared. Initially I thought I thought I would be out for a lot longer but the physio believes that it might be three to four weeks now. It happened in the first half when I overstretched and I felt my left hamstring go. I'm seeing the doctor on Tuesday so I will know for definite how bad it is then."
