Fresh concern over Ollie Palmer's ankle as Swindon Town face familiar injury dilemma

Palmer is to undergo further specialist assessment this week after experiencing renewed soreness in the ankle he originally injured against Port Vale at the beginning of September.

The 34-year-old was initially expected to be unavailable for 10 weeks, but made sufficient progress during his rehabilitation to return to the first-team picture ahead of schedule.

However, Holloway had previously acknowledged that Palmer was still training with a limp, and his involvement in Saturday's FA Cup defeat at MK Dons has raised fresh questions about the condition of the striker's ankle.
