Vale suffer Moore blow

Image: Byron Moore: Set to miss around two weeks

Port Vale winger Byron Moore faces around two weeks on the sidelines with a groin strain.

It was initially feared the 26-year-old may miss the remainder of the season with the injury he sustained during the defeat at Sheffield United 10 days ago. Moore missed the loss at Leyton Orient at the weekend but he is set to have an injection to help with his recovery in the hope that he may sit out just a couple more matches. "We're disappointed for Byron but we're hoping the injection will allow him to return soon," Vale boss Rob Page told the club's official website. "It has been a frustrating season for him but he has shown from his performances over the last few months that he has the quality to benefit this football club." Moore joined Vale in the summer and has made 18 appearances for the club this season, scoring one goal against Doncaster in a 3-0 win at Vale Park in February.
