Redditch United defender Tom Fishwick is to undergo surgery on a fractured cheekbone on Thursday.
The centre-back was injured during last Tuesday’s Evo-Stik South – Premier Division clash with Barwell and was assessed by a specialist on Monday.
After further evaluation, it has been decided that the player will have an operation.
In terms of rehabilitation, Fishwick is set to be unavailable for selection for between five and six weeks.
