Tonbridge Angels boss Tommy Warrilow admits new signing Meschach Nugent's injury is a blow

Tonbridge have suffered a major blow
with new signing Meshach Nugent nursing a suspected hairline shin
fracture.
The former Maidstone and VCD marksman
was injured in last week’s 3-0 win at Margate, and boss Tom
Warrilow admitted he fears the worse.
Warrilow (pictured) said: "He
has only started three games for us and it’s not good losing him
straightaway. We are waiting to have it confirmed, but he could be
missing for at least another fortnight.
"It was a horrendous challenge and had
he not been wearing a shin pad, it could have broken his leg. The
gash was deep and wide."
Warrilow is preparing for six matches
in the next 14 days, which he describes as "testing" for his small
squad.
He said: "I only had two substitutes
available against Hendon last week, so had to draft in Luke Blewden
from the reserves, and Tom Bryant who got on.
"I thought we should have wrapped the
game up by half-time because we had enough chances. The second half
was a bit scrappy, but it was another point and a clean sheet so I
cannot be too despondent."
On-loan Dartford striker Adam Burchell
will be staying at the club for another week, while skipper Anthony
Storey should be back for the visit of Canvey in the Ryman League
Premier Division tomorrow (Saturday). Marc Cumberbatch faces a
fitness test on his groin problem.
