The 26-year-old sustained ligament damage in a pre-season friendly with Bromley and went under the knife soon after. However, the problem is more serious than first thought and the centre-half has had a second operation which will keep him out until the New Year at the earliest. Manager Mark Stimson told the Kent Messenger: "Simon is very down at the moment. The ankle was in a bit of a mess, so the surgeon had to tidy it up, and he now has six weeks of non-weight bearing. "He won't be in great physical shape after that, and then he has to go through rehab, so he won't be back this year."
