Scunthorpe United defender Andy Butler is unlikely to play again until February after fracturing a bone in his foot during the 3-2 defeat at Ipswich Town.

An X-ray confirmed Butler will be sidelined for six weeks after picking up the injury in the second half at Portman Road.

Iron boss Nigel Adkins has a defensive headache as Kelly Youga is suspended for the next two matches.

In addition, Cliff Byrne and Izzy Iriekpen are also currently in the treatment room.
