Harrogate Town captain Josh Falkingham has been ruled out for up to three months with a shin injury.

The 34-year-old midfielder will undergo surgery on the injury he picked up in last Saturday's 3-0 home defeat by AFC Wimbledon on Friday.

"He's not in a good way. It's a huge blow for us as a team and him personally," boss Simon Weaver told BBC Radio York.

"It's a complicated injury and that's why he's going to need surgery."
