Smith to see specialist
Ben Smith is likely to miss the rest of this season. Graham Turner, speaking to BBC Hereford & Worcester, has confirmed that the injury is very serious and is the same as Smith received at the start of last season at Bromsgrove in a friendly.
"He is going to see a specialist. There is a possibility that he will have to have surgery on his shoulder, pinned to stop it popping out in future times," said Turner. "It looks as though his season is over and we have to hope that if he does have surgery then he will be cleared to start next season.
"It is a tremendous blow to us. He's had a good season, not only with his goals but he's very influential in the middle of the park for us. It is a severe blow for us.
"But we managed to get over the Andy Tretton injury and the Steve Guinan injury so I'm sure we're capable of getting over Ben Smith's absence.
Meanwhile Anwar Uddin is staying at Bristol Rovers.
Central defender Uddin is back in their squad after returning from a two-month loan spell at Hereford United and could be on the bench against Huddersfield tonight.
