BOSTON UNITED have been dealt an injury blow after promising defender Tom Ward was ruled out for several weeks with suspected ankle ligament damage.
The former Sleaford Town centre-back limped off just four minutes into Saturday's FA Cup tie with Kidsgrove Athletic at York Street.
Ward will certainly miss tomorrow night's replay and is a major doubt for United's upcoming games in Blue Square Bet North.
The 20-year-old will be missed following a series of impressive displays in the heart of the Pilgrims' back four since breaking into the side.
"He twisted his ankle and he's probably got some ligament damage," said joint-manager Jason Lee.
"To his credit, he wanted to carry on, but you could see he was limping straight away. Why take a chance? Get off the park and let someone else get on.
"He's got a big egg (on his ankle). It swelled up straight away and I imagine he'll be out for a while."
