ASA Charlton is to see a specialist about his longstanding groin problem which has ruled him out of Worcester City's last seven matches.

The utility player has seen a promising start to his St George's Lane career hit by a niggling groin strain that he has been unable to shake off.

He is the second City player forced to seek expert help with midfielder David Foy booked to see a consultant about his knee today.

Manager John Barton faces a further selection headache for Saturday's league clash with Cambridge City due to the one-match suspension of left- back Paul Carty.

Meanwhile, Hereford United captain Ian Wright faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a double fracture to his left arm.

The Edgar Street favourite sustained the injury in freak circumstances when he was hit by a Greg Rioch free kick in the dying minutes of Hereford's 2-1 defeat to Northwich Victoria.

Wright's arm has been put in plaster with broken bones diagnosed in both his hand and arm.
