Forest Green Rovers midfielder Dayle Grubb could face even more time on the sidelines after tweaking his hamstring while “getting out of the car”.

Head coach Mark Cooper revealed that Grubb picked up the injury in bizarre fashion.

The 28-year-old has attracted interest this month from League Two rivals Walsall and Newport County, but this latest injury setback could determine whether moves on from the New Lawn in January.

Grubb is Forest Green’s longest-serving player, having been at the club since January 2018, but has made just three starts in League Two this season.

Liam Shephard will also not be available for this weekend’s trip to Macclesfield Town, having picked up an injury in the 1-1 draw at Crawley Town at the start of the month.

“Dayle Grubb tweaked his hamstring getting out of his car, the other day, so those two are not available,” Cooper said.

Grubb’s contract expires at the end of the season, with his future at the New Lawn very much uncertain at this stage.
