League Two pace-setters Forest Green Rovers will be without top-scorer and frontman Matty Stevens for the rest of the season after he sustained an ACL injury against Scunthorpe United last weekend.
Forest Green confirmed on Monday night that the 24-year-old, who has scored 23 goals in 37 games for the Gloucestershire side as the division's second-top scorer, "will face a prolonged period out of action" with the striker not able to return until 2022/23.
Rob Edwards' side have a four-point lead at the top of the table and remain heavy favourites to gain promotion to League One, even in the wake of Stevens' absence, as they have a game in hand over Exeter City in second.
