FABIEN Robert is the latest player to join the growing list of long-term absentees for Swindon Town.

The Frenchman departed the field at Bloomfield Road after 20 minutes on Saturday and post-match manager Mark Cooper told the local press he had an ankle knock that woukd require a scan.

Now BBC Wiltshire are reporting that Robert will be absent for a month.

He joins Wes Thomas, Nathan Thompson, Jordan Williams and Kevin Stewart as players unailable for selection.
