DEREK Niven hasn't suffered a recurrence of his adductor tendon injury.
The Grimsby Town midfielder made his comeback from injury in last night's victory at Dartford.
And the 29-year-old was substituted just after the hour many spectators feared the worst, but joint boss Rob Scott insists there is nothing to worry about.
"Derek just stiffened up as the fatigue got to him and he had to come off," he said.
"Del's not the most athletic of players – you look at him and he looks like the stiffest man in the world!
"He was ready to play, he's been champing at the bit to play and he had no reactions during the game.
"But he just went to, I won't say sprint, but he went to turn quickly and he stiffened up.
"That's why we need that strength in depth. Frankie (Artus) came on and was arguably one of our more influential players – that's the strength of the squad that we've got."
