Five of Barry Corr's eight goals this season have come in League Two

Southend United's leading scorer Barry Corr hopes to be able to shrug off a back injury in time for next week's League Two match at Cheltenham.

Corr came off the bench to score in the Saturday's 1-1 draw at Stevenage but hopes to start next Tuesday.

"It's just a little bit sore so the manager's looking after me," Corr told BBC Essex.

"It should be fine. I don't think there'll be any problems when we play Cheltenham next Tuesday."

Corr has scored eight times for the Blues this season, three of them as a substitute.

The Irishman, 25, joined the club in August after leaving Exeter City.
