SOUTHEND United defender Elvis Bwomono missed tonight's 1-0 defeat at Cheltenham Town due to a calf problem.

Bwomono suffered the injury during Saturday's 0-0 draw with Salford City.

And Blues boss Mark Molesley was unable to select the right-back this evening. 

"Unfortunately Elvis has got a slight calf injury and he was unavailable tonight," said Molesley.

"We will assess this week and hopefully it’s low level so he won’t need a scan.

"We will have to see how it settles and if Saturday comes too soon which I feel might be the case."
