Peacock had suffered back problems for years before surgery this summer

Lee Peacock and Hasney Aljofree are both likely to be out of action for months to come, according to Swindon manager Danny Wilson.

Aljofree injured his knee ligaments last December while Peacock has had two operations this summer to try to solve a long standing back complaint.

Wilson told BBC Wiltshire it could be some time before either plays again.

"I couldn't even put a date on it for you because we just don't know at the moment, it's disappointing."

"We'll just keep working with them the best that we can."

Wilson had better news of new signing Scott Cuthbert, who had a hernia operation this summer.

"Cuthbert will be up and running by the first week of the season, there's no doubt about that.

"Hopefully we'll see him in one or two pre season games before that." he added.
