SWINDON Robins reserve Lewis Rose looks set to face a spell on the sidelines with shoulder and wrist injuries after crashing out of the Robins’ victory over Poole last night.

Rose collided heavily with the safety fence just short of the finish line as he took evasive action to avoid Paul Starke, after the Poole man lifted and fell in front of him in heat two.

After receiving treatment on track, the 25-year-old was taken to hospital where he was diagnosed with bad bruising and tissue damage to his right shoulder.

He will now face an anxious wait to discover the extent of his wrist injury, with an x-ray scheduled for 10 days’ time once severe swelling has reduced.
