No break for Butler

A heavy challenge during last week's defeat at Bristol Rovers had left him unable to continue in the match and the club had feared a fracture.

But an X-Ray at Scunthorpe General Hospital this week has confirmed that there is no bone damage to the player, who has been watched by Spurs and Aston Villa.

His ankle remains swollen and bruised but he has been able to train with weights and is expected to return in three to four weeks time.
