Midfielder faces three months out after dislocating his shoulder
Shrewsbury midfielder Terry Dunfield is set to be out for around three months after dislocating his shoulder .
The injury occurred after the 27-year-old collided with another player in training on Friday, causing the pair to fall.
Dunfield's shoulder 'popped' out and he was taken to hospital, where it was put back in.
He is now recuperating at home and will be assessed again on Tuesday, but it is feared he may now require surgery on the shoulder.
Manager Paul Simpson told the club's
official website: "Terry popped his shoulder out but it wasn't a simple dislocation as his shoulder moved in two ways.
Specialist
"He was operated on yesterday afternoon to put the shoulder back in and will see a specialist on Tuesday and the likelihood is that he is going to need an operation.
"We are thinking that he will be missing for around three months and that is a big blow for Terry and for the team."
Craig Disley also picked up an injury in Saturday's win at Accrington, leaving Simpson short of players.
The manager added: "We've got a number of players out now and they have all been silly injuries that have not been down to the way that we do things in training, if they had all been muscle pulls or strains then we could have done something about them.
"We are having a shocker with injuries at the moment, I must have run over a black cat, but it's not good at the moment and I'm going to have to look if we can bring in players to strengthen."
