SOUTHEND United manager Chris Powell has confirmed Tom Hopper and Ben Coker have both undergone surgery on their knee injuries.
The duo will not play again this season but have both gone under the knife in the past few days.
"Ben had his operation on Monday and Tom had his last week,” said Powell.
“I’ve spoken to Tom and he will be coming in later on this week.
“He was in a good place and I believe the op was very successful. Ben I don’t know yet because I haven’t spoken to him.
"I know it’s happened and they’ve done what’s needed to be done.
"Now it’s about recuperation and the long road to recovery which we will help them with.”
