Button made his League debut for Bournemouth in 2009

Plymouth manager Peter Reid says injured goalkeeper David Button will be out of action for at least a fortnight.

Button, who is on loan from Tottenham, was substituted during Argyle's 1-1 draw with Colchester on Saturday after picking up an ankle injury.

Reid told the club's official website: "He [Button] is at Spurs, it's a swollen ankle.

"We're just waiting for the swelling to go down but he'll be out for a couple of weeks."

Reid added: "There's a possibility of it being ligaments and their medical people will be looking after him."

Midfielders Luke Summerfield and Onismor Bhasera are also on the sidelines with injuries.

Reid said: "Summerfield has a bit of swelling on his knee so we're waiting on that and it'll be at least another couple of weeks for him.

"Bhasera's got a problem with his groin, we've kept him out of training but I don't think it's anything major."
