They will receive the results of the scan either tomorrow or Saturday, and he is likley to miss the Humber derby on Saturday.
Meanwhile Iron manager Brian Laws has hinted that the on-loan defender Cliff Byrne, who played for Ireland U21's against Scotland U21's on Tuesday night, could beome a pernament Iron player before the end of the season.
