BREAKING NEWS: Robins' Alden out for season
3:35pm Friday 11th July 2008 in
SWINDON Robins have been stunned after learning that reserve Seb Alden will miss the rest of the 2008 campaign.
Swedish youngster Alden has been diagnosed with a broken heel, following his heavy crash in the seventh heat of last night's 45-45 draw against Belle Vue at Blunsdon.
Alden was taken to Swindon's Great Western hospital where doctors confirmed the extent of the injury.
Team chief Alun Rossiter said: "This is terrible luck for Seb who had been enjoying a very good season.
"He'd shown great improvement in 2008 and impressed everyone with his commitment to the club.''
Fellow reserve Manuel Hauzinger has suffered bruising to his upper leg after his first-bend spill last night and is expected to be out of action for a week only.
Rossiter has booked the Isle of Wight's Krzysztof Stojanowski and Berwick's Paul Clews as guest replacements for tonight's clash against Coventry.
