George Cox could be back within a week after specialists advise Swindon Town left-back has not fractured his foot

Town had announced Cox was likely to be out for as long as two months after an X-ray appeared to reveal a break in a bone in his foot.

The left-back had complained of discomfort during the first half of the defeat at Notts County on January 4, following a collision early in the game, and he was withdrawn at half-time.

Swindon subsequently sent Cox for the relevant scans to determine the nature of the damage, and he was advised he had suffered a fracture of the medial cuneiform.
