Tranmere Rovers captain Scott Davies will miss the rest of the season due to an Achilles injury.
Tranmere Rovers captain Scott Davies will be out for the rest of the season after rupturing his Achilles in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Mansfield Town.
Rovers may also be without their 34-year-old goalkeeper at the start of next season.
Davies was stretchered off after falling awkwardly while collecting a cross 13 minutes into the game against Mansfield.
“Our worst nightmare came true. “It’ll be a long recovery,” said boss Keith Hill on BBC Radio Merseyside.
“He requires surgery.” He has our full support for a speedy recovery.”
During Davies’ absence, Joe Murphy is set to fill in for the League Two promotion contenders, who are currently third with nine games remaining.
Tranmere Rovers travel to Cheltenham Town on Friday before welcoming leaders Cambridge United on Monday.
Glatzel has had a nightmare year, with his first season on loan at Tranmere ending in March when he suffered a hamstring injury in a 3-2 win over Mansfield.The 21-year-old returned to the AXA Training Centre for rehabilitation before being approved for another temporary transfer to Prenton Park on deadline day this month.
He did so while still out of shape, but manager Micky Mellon was clearly confident enough in his ability to sanction another transfer.
Glatzel made his first appearance in six months as a substitute in Tuesday’s home game against Bradford City.
The youngster took over for Elliott Nevett in the 71st minute, with the score 1-1 but less than two minutes remaining.a quarter of an hour later he was forced off again.
