Ebbsfleet United midfielder Craig Stone faces surgery after suffering a broken leg in his side's 0-0 draw with Wrexham in the FA Trophy quarter-finals.

Stone was stretchered off during the first half of the game.

Fleet manager Liam Daish told BBC Radio Kent: "He will be in hospital for five days and then have an operation. It's a big loss for us.

"I feel sorry for Craig, he is a great lad to have around and it sounds like a bad break."

The 20-year-old joined Ebbsfleet from Gillingham over the summer and has made 26 appearances for the club this season.
