The Bucks shot-stopper has been nursing the problem since an accident while on his bike in the summer. He featured in the opening months of the campaign but felt the injury in the recent defeat at Kidderminster and has subsequently been sidelined, with Albion loanee Ted Cann between the sticks.

New chief Paul Carden told the Shropshire Star Griffiths, 25, has seen a specialist and is due to undergo an MRI scan to help get to the root of the problem.

Carden’s side have been training but are without a game today due to Gateshead’s FA Cup exploits.

Loan defender Saul Shotton is fine after taking a knock at Felixstowe last week. Elliott Durrell is expected to be OK after a knee problem while Jason Oswell and Kai Williams should recover from fitness issues for next Saturday.
