Shrewsbury Town winger Marc Pugh has had a scan which has revealed he has a case of acute tendinitis in his hip.

The 20-year-old has not played since mid-November when the Shrews beat Barnet 1-0. Pugh has been told to rest and it will be another week until he will be able to resume training.

Shrews physio Rachel Greenley told the club's official website: "He'll continue with anti-inflammatories and we hope that once that course has ran that in five to six days he'll be fine, so he should be back in training next week."

Greenley also confirmed that Andrew Cooke is now back in training and is expected to feature in the Shrews' next reserve team game.

Pugh started his career at Burnley as a trainee before having a short spell at Bury. In May 2007 Shrews boss Gary Peters signed the midfielder on a free transfer.
