Mingle Blow for Braintree
08 September 2009 10:22:00
Braintree Town moved to within a point of Blue Square South leaders Newport County after winning 2-1 at Weston-super-Mare on Saturday.
But their victory was soured by a serious facial injury suffered by midfielder Jacob Mingle.
Mingle suffered a double fractured jaw following a brave header towards goal in the opening 15 minutes of the match.
He was taken to hospital and underwent an operation on Sunday.
Braintree expect him to make a full recovery but is set to be out for a number of weeks.
The club have organised a collection for Mingle, which will take place at their home game against Worcester City on Saturday.
