Braintree Town defender Matt Fry has said he hopes the injury he suffered against Tranmere Rovers may not be as bad as was first feared.
The Iron centre-half went down in a lot of pain towards the end of their 0-0 Vanarama National League draw against Rovers after falling awkwardly on his left knee.
It took several minutes for medics to get his leg stabilised and him on to a stretcher before carrying him off the field and there were fears that it would be a serious injury.
However, Fry himself has since said on his Twitter account that he hoped it may not be a severe one.
"Pretty sore at the moment but hope injury not as bad as first feared," said Fry
"Fingers crossed.
"Very solid today, boys were brilliant.
"Very happy to pick up first points & clean sheet as an iron player.
"Fans were also top class "
