Notts County defender Michael Edwards will be out until the New Year after suffering a broken right leg in the pre-season clash with St Blazey.

The 27-year-old centre-half suffered a double fracture to his right leg, as well as a dislocated ankle and ruptured ligaments, and it was feared he could miss almost the whole of the coming campaign.

County physio John Haselden told the club's official website: "Mike is having an operation on Tuesday and will be in plaster for a month.

"After that he will be wearing a special boot to get the ankle moving. He has a tricky injury if you like.

"However, the surgeon has said that if everything goes to plan he is looking at a return just after Christmas."

Edwards has been with the Magpies for three seasons, making just over 100 appearances for the Meadow Lane club.
