Lincoln City midfielder Ethan Hamilton has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.

The 25-year-old ex-Manchester United youth player has featured 37 times for the Imps since joining the League One side from Accrington last summer.

He has missed Lincoln's past two wins and underwent scans this week

"It's not great, he has done some menisci damage, so at best we will see him in pre-season," Lincoln boss Michael Skubala said.

"We know that Ethan will be out for the rest of the season, so that is pretty disappointing.

"I feel for Ethan, he has been brilliant for us.

"He has been doing so well and has worked really hard for the team. He is a great trainer and great lad, so he will be out for quite some time and we wish him all the best.

"Our medical team will work really hard to do the best by him."

Conor McGrandles, who was re-signed on loan from Charlton during the January transfer window to add depth to Lincoln's midfield options, has also undergone scans on a niggle and is also in doubt for Saturday's game against Stevenage.

"Conor is struggling a little bit," Skubala told 麻豆社 Radio Lincolnshire.

"It's touch and go. It could be something or it could be nothing."
