Notts County injury blow confirmed as Ian Burchnall addresses Neal Ardley question

Kyle Cameron is set for a "few weeks" on the sidelines after Notts County head coach Ian Burchnall issued an update on the defender's hamstring injury.

The Magpies skipper had to be replaced in the first half of Saturday's 1-1 draw against Yeovil after pulling up while chasing a Glovers attack.

The defender has since had a scan to determine the severity of the injury which, fortunately, has shown no sign of major damage.

But Burchnall admits that Cameron, a contender for the club's player of the season award, will be out for the short term but said it will give his replacement a chance to impress.

"A few weeks I would think," he responded when asked for an update on the defender's injury.

"It came back and you can see something on the hamstring.

"It's not big, but it's enough that it will need maybe two to three weeks I would think just to let it heal.

"He defends the box well, he's strong in the air and also on the ball in terms of bringing the ball out of defence we will miss him.

"He's obviously a top player and he's had a great season so far.

"But there are plenty of other players who are hungry and ready to step in, waiting for an opportunity.

"That's what it's about so they'll get their chance in the upcoming games."

Cameron's absence represents a blow for Notts who face a demanding schedule in the next few weeks as they chase a return to the Football League.

Notts face Solihull Moors tomorrow night before they entertain Wrexham in an FA Trophy quarter-final on Friday night.

Cameron's absence comes at a time when Richard Brindley is also sidelined having picked up a knock in the defeat at Chesterfield.

He has also been ruled out of tomorrow night's game at Solihull which has deprived Burchnall of his first-choice
