The centre-half landed awkwardly after going for a header and is expected to be missing for a number of weeks, although the exact length of his absence is yet to be determined.[LNB]David Raven could slot into the centre of defence in his place in Saturday's League One clash at Brunton Park but the return to training of Peter Murphy after a groin strain could solve Greg Abbott's problems.[LNB]Paul Thirlwell has also trained following a dead leg and could make his return but teenage defender Simon Lakeland is a long-term absentee with a knee ligament injury.[LNB]Abbott, who is hopeful of signing a new striker before the transfer deadline, has spoken to Hamilton about making a move for Richard Offiong.[LNB][LNB]
