Spireite facing lengthy lay-off

Robertson has had spells with Rotherham and Nottingham Forest

Chesterfield defender Gregor Robertson will be out of action for up to six months after suffering a double leg fracture against Carlisle.

The 25-year-old was stretchered off during Tuesday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie at Saltergate and has now undergone surgery.

Spireites assistant boss Tommy Wright told Radio Sheffield: "It's a big disappointment. He's done well.

"We will give him all the help he needs to get back on the football field."
