Johnny Mullins missed yesterdays game at Cheltenham with a knee injury and boss Andy Liddell confirmed that the defender will play no further part this campaign. Mullins is thought to have suffered a bad ligament injury in training on Friday and missed yesterday's trip, with Liddell confirming the worst fears.Rumours at the stadium in Cheltenham suggested Mullins maybe out for up to 6 months but the gaffer refused to confirm anything long term, speaking to the press after the game.He said: "I am not certain on the exact diagnosis but what is certain is that we won't see Johnny for the rest of this season. He will require an operation which is quite major and I wouldn't like to speculate on the timescale."'Keeper Andy Warrington is also out of action having had foot surgery and Liddell added: "He goes for another X-ray this week so we have to take it game by game and see what happens."Ian Thomas-Moore is also still on the treatment table but is hopeful of returning to training on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week.
