Leon Osborne faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after damaging ankle ligaments.

The young midfielder suffered the injury from a crunching tackle during yesterday's reserve game at Grimsby. And City boss Stuart McCall fears he will be a long-term absentee.

McCall said: "There are no bones broken but ligament damage can take just as long to heal.

"We'll get a better idea when the swelling has gone down but unfortunately it looks a bad one."
