Falmouth Town's Matt Drummond is set to miss the first three months of the Carlsberg South West Peninsula League season after fracturing his fibula in a match on Sunday.

The player picked up the injury in the second minute of the CSWPL Charity Bowl match against Bodmin Town on Sunday.

It came following a challenge from Bodmin Town's Shane Krac, but Falmouth Town's director of football Steve Kimberley told the Packet that Drummond did not believe the challenge was a bad one.

Kimberley also thanked the Bodmin Town medical staff for their help with Drummond's injury.

He was taken to Treliske hospital where he was diagnosed with a fractured fibula and a fragmented bone inside his left ankle.

The news of his injury will come as a big blow to Falmouth. The player was one of the club's star strikers. He netted them 35 goals last term.
