Josh Sims will miss the rest of Yeovil Town’s season through injury, according to manager Billy Rowley.
The Glovers’ boss confirmed the wideman would be out for six to eight weeks with an injury which has seen him miss the defeats at Gateshead and Southend United in the past week.
He said James Daly, who has been playing through the middle with some success, would be at left wing-back for the visit of bottom club Truro City to Huish Park on Good Friday, with Alex Whittle dropping to the bench having played a significant amount in recent games.
Rowley told BBC Somerset’s Jack Killah: “In an ideal world, JD would be up top as well, but Simsy has just been told he is out for six weeks. That is another killer blow, but luckily we only have four games left after this one and we had him when we really needed him against Wealdstone and Morecambe and I thought he was brilliant in those games. We are going to miss him for another eight weeks.
“So JD is going to have to fill in at a full-back position which he is good at, but we would rather have him higher up the pitch.”
Defender Dan Ellison returns on the bench having returned from his loan spell at National League South side Weston-super-Mare and Rowley said he had been monitoring the former Bristol Rovers player’s form.
He said: “I was watching his games on Wyscout and checking out his performances and he always looks good. (Weston) play a slightly different style, slightly less possession based than we are trying to be, but he was solid and he defends the ball really well. So we are welcoming him back in good form.“
