Burton have been dealt an injury blow with the news that Jacob Blyth could be out for around six weeks.

Blyth, on loan from Leicester, suffered a hamstring injury in Albion's League Two win at Cheltenham last weekend and scans have revealed the damage could keep the 22-year-old out until April. "It's a big blow. It is a five or six-week injury but hopefully we will see him sooner," Burton boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink told local reporters on Thursday. "He is a strong lad. Hopefully he will heal a little bit quicker. He was just getting his rhythm, especially with Stuart (Beavon). They like playing with each other. "It is a miss but it will open up a place for somebody else and an opportunity for someone else to take." Blyth has scored five goals in 25 appearances for promotion-chasing Burton.
