Maidstone United manager George Elokobi expects Jacob Berkeley-Agyepong to miss the rest of the season but David Agbontohoma may yet return

Maidstone midfielder Jacob Berkeley-Agyepong is set to miss the rest of the season.

Berkeley-Agyepong, who only rejoined the club a couple of weeks ago, suffered a suspected Achilles injury in the Stones’ goalless draw at Horsham on Saturday.

“He’s come in, he’s committed to try and help us out and, whatever happens between now and
