AFC Wimbledon goalkeeper James Shea faces a spell on the sidelines with a fractured ankle.

The 23-year-old, who has started all 41 games for Wimbledon this season, suffered the injury during the 1-0 defeat at Hartlepool on Saturday. Dons assistant manager Neil Cox told the club website: "James had a scan this morning (Monday) and it showed that he had cracked a bone in his ankle. "He did it before the goal on Saturday. He will be out for at least a couple of weeks, but we are awaiting more information to find out the full extent of the injury. "It offers an opportunity now for whoever the manager decides to select. That's why as a player you have to keep yourself going because someone can get injured."
