Stafford Rangers striker Del Olaoye - yet to play this season - has now been told he must undergo an operation on his ankle and could be out for months.

Manager Phil Robinson, whose struggling side face a difficult Blue Square Premier game at Weymouth tomorrow, said: "Now we know that Del is going to be out for so long, it's natural we should be brining as striker in.

"We are trying but the chances of doing something before Weymouth are looking slim."

Rangers lost their fifth straight Blue Square Premier game at Salisbury on Tuesday, 1-0, despite having 60 per cent of the play.

"It seems like I am repeating myself, but against a team like Salisbury, sixth in the table, who dominated and beat Forest Green 3-0, to have that amount of possession we should get something," said Robinson.
