St Mirren right-back David Barron has suffered a setback as he continues his recovery from a knee ligament problem.

The 21-year-old suffered medial ligament damage in his left knee during a friendly game against Partick Thistle in September and was initially ruled out of action for up to six weeks.

However, Barron felt some discomfort in his knee when he tried to resume training last month and has now been told he may not be able to return to action until December.

Buddies boss Gus MacPherson said: "David might be able to train soon enough but, in terms of playing games, he's another two weeks away."

Also currently in the Love Street treatment room are Tonet (hamstring) and Stephen O'Donnell and Tom Brighton (both knee injuries).
