SPANIARD Pedro Matias has plunged bottom-of-the-table Kidderminster Harriers' Boxing Day preparations into further disarray.

The 31-year-old, who scored one goal in five games after joining from Bristol Rovers on a non-contract basis, has returned to his homeland for personal reasons.

Matias' departure leaves boss Stuart Watkiss with just 15 players, including three goalkeepers, for Sunday's home Coca-Cola League Two clash with Swansea City.

Suspension rules out Wayne Hatswell, Dean Keates and Simon Weaver, while Iyseden Christie and Reuben Hazell are still missing through injury.

Watkiss is desperately seeking new faces before the game.
