Clarke X-ray news boosts Oxford

James Clarke
Clarke has featured regularly for Oxford United this season

Oxford United have received a boost with the news that James Clarke has not broken his leg as had been feared.

The defender still faces a spell out of action after being stretchered off in the FA Cup win over Hayes & Yeading.

X-rays have revealed there was no break as a result of a late challenge from visiting striker Will Hendry.

Saturday's match, which was already in injury time, was held up for almost five minutes while a splint was fitted to the 19-year-old's lower leg.

Clarke has been told by doctors that he is fortunate not to have suffered a fracture.
