Shrewsbury Town hopeful after key man injury scare
Paul Hurst is hoping Jordan Shipley’s Achilles injury is nothing serious after the winger came off during the 1-1 draw at Derby.
Shrewsbury Town picked up their first draw in Hurst’s second stint in charge at the weekend as Aaron Pierre scored in the 87th minute to help Salop gain a point.
Shrews picked up several injuries in the second half, as Jack Hinchy suffered a dead leg which Hurst hopes will be fine.
But he revealed he is more concerned about Shipley, who has a sore Achilles from an incident off the ball.
“It was his Achilles,” the Town head coach confirmed. “He felt it, and that is one that in some ways, concerns me more.
“Jack (Hinchy) had a dead leg and they can take time to recover from, but usually ice and a couple of days, and they should be alright I think. Jordan felt his Achilles, and that was not contact or anything, it was just a movement.
“He sort of looked as if he was through it, but he was definitely sore. We took him off at the right time I am hoping for nothing more, but at this point, I am not too sure.”
