Forest Green Rovers winger Joshua Osude is set to miss more than two months after falling while getting out of the shower and partially rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament.

The 27-year-old has featured in all five National League matches so far this season for Robbie Savage's side, scoring a goal in the 2-1 win at Worthing.

"He came in on Tuesday morning because we were in for a debrief, warm-down and recovery and Josh, who has been a shining light for us this season, said 'I've got out the shower, slipped, knee swollen up' and he's got a partial rupture of his ACL," Savage told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.

"Not good news - he's going to be out for eight to 12 weeks."
