Adam Thompson will miss Southend's promotion charge after undergoing surgery on a dislocated shoulder on Thursday.

The 22-year-old defender came off in the Shrimpers' 2-0 success over Mansfield last Friday and will be unavailable as Phil Brown's side look to make it intot League One, either automatically or via the play-offs. "He's going under the knife today," assistant manager Dave Penney told the club's official website. "It's a sore one for Tommo and he'll be ruled out for a while now, which is a shame for him. "He's been carrying a shoulder injury on the right side, but this time it's on his left, so that will probably rule him out for the rest of the season."
