BROMSGROVE Rovers will be without Chris Dawson for most of the Dr Martens Western season run-in.

Dawson suffered a broken rib in last Saturay's 3-0 home victory over Swindon Supermarine and will be out for four to six weeks.

Playing in place of Steve Frost in the match, Dawson took a knock while challenging for the ball. The game was stopped for five minutes while an ambulance was called, leading to nine extra minutes in the second half.

Rovers boss George Rooney, who is still without a new striker, said: "He's broken a rib and is very, very sore and is going to be out for four to six weeks.

"He's a good footballer but has had little opportunity. He was just starting have an affect on the game when he got injured."
