Ebbsfleet midfielder Neil Barrett has been ruled out for the rest of the season through injury.

Barrett suffered a fractured jaw and depressed cheekbone while scoring the Fleet's first goal during their FA Trophy Semi-Final First Leg at Stevenage on Saturday.

The player was stretchered off after the incident and underwent a four-hour operation the following day.

Fleet boss Liam Daish said: "I feel terribly gutted for Neil.

"It was a nasty injury and my first concern was just for the general welfare of the lad. Losing Neil and Craig Stone are big blows for us, not only as valuable members of our small squad but also the commitment that they give and have given to this football club since they have been here."
