Stockport County youngster Matty Mainwaring will receive the support and backing from his team-mates and management, manager Gary Ablett has announced.

The 19-year-old faces seven months on the sidelines after breaking his tibia and fibula during Saturday's 1-0 friendly success against Grimsby and Ablett is sure he'll be eased through his predicament.

Speaking to the Stockport Express, he said: "We've all got a massive role to play in that, because rehab after a serious injury is very difficult.

"We certainly won't be rushing him. His recovery will take as long as it takes, and we will be guided by the surgeon on that score.

"But we are there to give him as much help as he needs.

"It's sad for Matty, because he had been doing really well in pre-season, and I was looking forward to getting him involved once the campaign kicked off."

Mainwaring underwent corrective surgery on Sunday morning.
