Initial X-rays showed there were no fractures, and Ball was then sent for further assessment to establish whether or not there was any ligament disruption within the relevant joint. Following a scan early this week, those concerns have been quelled.
Ball left the County Ground in an ambulance at the end of the game, with his left arm in a brace, following an incident early in the second half on Saturday (February 21).

The forward is on a one-year contract at Town, and though he is known to be keen to remain in Wiltshire – his family home is near Swindon, he faces a tough task convincing Holloway he is worthy of a new contract.
However, Ian Holloway has been bolstered by the news that Jamie Knight-Lebel and Will Wright are fit enough to be included in the travelling squad. Knight-Lebel has had a clear MRI scan with parent club Bristol City.

Ball had a scan on a leg problem sustained during the victory at Harrogate Town last week, which has shown no signs of damage, allowing the utility player to be part of the squad at Shrewsbury.

The suggestion that Smith is thinking about a return in 2025/26 is an interesting development, because of the steps taken by the club last year after his initial diagnosis.
His personal terms have enjoyed a boost as a result, reflecting the value Swindon see in their standout performer. Town had been conscious that the 27-year-old would likely receive significant interest from elsewhere in the EFL during the summer.

EXCLUSIVE: The Robins were at the heart of a pair of headline-grabbing ineligible player cases last month, which led to their expulsion from the EFL Trophy. And the experience appears to have prompted positive action.

Morfuni Jnr, who is in his mid-20s, is a recent graduate from Macquarie University in Sydney, and joins his dad; chief executive Anthony Hall; and local businessman Ben Gristwood on the club board.

EXCLUSIVE: Swindon Town announced Tabor would be returning to Bath for the remainder of the season last week. However, The Moonraker understands that switch is no longer going to take place
The EFL put Luton into the quarter-finals, despite the Hatters having not earned the right to participate. That has irked Holloway, who believes that the fairest option would have been for Plymouth to progress.
Tafazolli travelled to Harrogate but was not included in the matchday squad, while Wilson-Brown complained of illness during the previous weekend’s win over Barrow and sat out the fixture.
A disciplinary panel made a ruling on the case on Wednesday (February 4), reinstating Luton in the competition and slapping Swindon with a £40,000 fine, half of which is suspended.
