SOUTHEND United head coach Kevin Maher has yet to discover the seriousness of the injury Callum Powell suffered at Gateshead.

Blues’ top scorer had to be taken off in the second half on Saturday.

But Maher says it is too early to have the injury assessed. “I’m not sure what it is,” said Maher, speaking straight after the game.

“We will have to check when it settles down and speak to the physio.”

Powell has scored seven goals in 19 appearances for Blues this season.
