Mirfin out for two months

Defender David Mirfin is not expected to return from a leg injury until 2013.

The centre-back damaged ligament in a leg during Tuesday night's 4-1 win at Walsall, and scans have put his recovery time at a minimum of six weeks.

Brian Laws, the Iron manager, is not expecting to have him available again for another eight weeks - which would put him out until January.

“We have had the scan results and it is not looking good," he said.

“It looks like it could be a minimum of six weeks, but maybe nearer eight.

“He has tweaked his ligament and unfortunately that’s the time this injury takes."
