Defender to miss Grecians clash

The centre-half landed awkwardly after going for a header and is expected to be missing for a number of weeks, although the exact length of his absence is yet to be determined.David Raven could slot into the centre of defence in his place in Saturday's League One clash at Brunton Park but the return to training of Peter Murphy after a groin strain could solve Greg Abbott's problems.Paul Thirlwell has also trained following a dead leg and could make his return but teenage defender Simon Lakeland is a long-term absentee with a knee ligament injury.Abbott, who is hopeful of signing a new striker before the transfer deadline, has spoken to Hamilton about making a move for Richard Offiong.
