On-loan Peterborough striker Izale McLeod faces up to eight weeks on the sidelines after being diagnosed with a meniscus problem.
The 25-year-old has missed the last three games and manager Jim Gannon has revealed his disappointment at losing the Charlton loanee for a prolonged spell.
He told Posh Player: "Izale has been diagnosed with a meniscus problem so he's looking like he might have to sit out for four to six, maybe even eight, weeks with that, so he's a loss, because I think in the formation we have he would have done well for us."
Does this mean he will be sent back? :-(

I'm probably the only thick one on here who didn't know that!
Unfortunately.
That is what usually happens with loan players anyway. If injured they return to the parent club.
Crap just what we need, more wages to pay! that guy has been nothing but bad luck since he joined
To be fair to him, it was their previous manager (Mark Cooper) who had a row with him and wanted to send him back, the new bloke (Gannon) had been playing him.
Don't think they can send him back unless we agree which we won't.
More often than not. Doesn't mean we're paying his wages though, just cos we're treating him.
Take your point in principle but looking at the specifics can you imagine Barry Fry paying wages for an injured player of another club?
McEverley went straight back to Derby County but I don't know if we were still paying him or they immediately took him back on their wage bill.
And Murty? You never knew whether he'd be fit from one game to the next. But I suspect Reading were paying a sizeable chunk of his wages all along, so may be different...
Presumably insurance covers this though.
