After Raith Rovers training earlier today (Tuesday), manager Dougie Imrie provided an update on the fitness of striker George Oakley (hamstring), fellow forward John Robertson (abductor) and left-back Zak Delaney (knee).

And the Kirkcaldy gaffer – who substituted crocked Oakley 30 minutes into last Friday night’s 0-0 home league draw against Dunfermline Athletic – told the Fife Free Press: “It's disappointing (Oakley’s injury). “But we got the scan results this morning. It's not too serious. A couple of weeks and he should be back, so all good.

"It was obviously precautionary as well. I think if he'd stayed on, it would have gone.

"He knows his body better than anyone, probably with having the same type of injury on his other leg. He's seen that pain or at least felt it straight away when he knew something's up.

"So, the best thing was just to get him off as a precautionary measure. But, like I said, the report's come back pretty good, probably the best it could be. Hopefully within two or three weeks he'll be back on the pitch.

"I don't think there's any tear. It's just myofascial, whatever that means, I'm not an expert."

Imrie, who revealed that fellow injury absentee Delaney will undergo an operation on his knee tomorrow (Wednesday), also provided positive news on Robertson, adding: “He's on the pitch today. So, again, hopefully, I know I keep saying two weeks, but hopefully he'll be back for Partick Thistle (a home league game on Saturday, November 21) and in the squad.

"Touch wood that is the case. If it's not, he'll be certainly be available, I'd imagine, for Troon. (an away Scottish Cup third round tie on Saturday, November 28).
