Watson suffers bad injury blow and faces surgery

Watson was enjoying another fine game for Town when he landed awkwardly following a strong challenge in midfield after 64 minutes.

He was in visible agony as he left the field, and while it was first thought the 26-year-old had suffered a dislocated shoulder, manager Keith Curle later confirmed it is a potentially more serious injury and one which will require surgery.

"It's a broken collarbone and he's going to have surgery so that's going to be a period of time out just when I thought the lad was finding his feet," said Curle.

"He was just understanding what we're demanding from him and he was enjoying his football so it'll be a lot of hard work for the lad now to get himself back fit.

"He needs to face the surgery and treat it as a challenge."

Matty Warburton was also taken off with an injury during Tuesday's game.

Curle added: "Matty Warburton has a nasty gash on his ankle. We'll take a look at it tomorrow and find out the extent of it then."
