There are fears Michael Olakigbe has suffered a knee ligament injury on the training ground.

Olakigbe was left unable to weight-bear following a challenge with Billy Kirkman during a session at Beversbrook on Thursday (March 5).

The on-loan winger will be fully assessed by the Swindon medical staff and, depending on the extent of the injury, may need to return to parent club Brentford for treatment.
