Yeovil Town manager Gary Johnson has revealed that defender Jamie McAllister has suffered a relapse in his comeback from a knee injury.

The club captain lasted just 45 minutes of a behind-closed-doors friendly, and Johnson has admitted that the left-back will not return for the foreseeable future.

The 57-year-old told This Is Somerset: "I think Macca's struggling a little bit, he's had a bit of a relapse of his injury and it doesn't feel quite right. That's why we need these games because we can't afford to do that in proper games.

"You can see that he's not quite fit just yet so we're really just having a look at him because we were asked to have a look at him.

"He's been a top player, of course, but he's had a cruciate ligament injury, which is a big injury, and we're just taking a look."

Th 35-year-old joined Yeovil last season after being released by Bristol City.
