FRENCH signing Parfait Medou-Otye has been ruled out of Bromsgrove Rovers' home Dr Martens Western fixture with Racing Club Warwick on Saturday.

Medou-Otye, signed from Stourport Swifts at the end of November, suffered a groin injury half an hour into the 1-0 defeat at Evesham United last Saturday and was replaced by Grant Beckett.

The former Kidderminster Harriers defender, aged 26, was assessed at training on Tuesday night and is not expected to be considered for selection until the Boxing Day match with Rugby United at the Victoria Ground (kick-off 12pm).
