Stansfield has Cartilage Surgery

Former Hereford United striker Adam Stansfield has recently had surgery for a cartilage problem and his manager Paul Tisdale has admitted that being without him will make life difficult as the Grecians try to stay in League One.

"Adam is a quick healer, and fingers crossed he will be back as soon as possible," said Tisdale.

"He is in a rich vein of form, so let's hope he gets back to playing at that level when he returns.

"I think he has been at his best since I've known him. He is playing better now than he did in the Conference, which may be a surprise to a few people. He has improved and is still improving and to lose him is a big loss – but these things go in cycles and the next man must take his place."

Stansfield has scored nine goals for Exeter this season to date.
