Swindon's Glatzel has surgery on hamstring injury

Swindon midfielder Paul Glatzel has had surgery after rupturing his hamstring last month.

The 24-year-old went off at half-time of Swindon's 2-0 win away at Cheltenham Town on 29 December.

Glatzel has played in 21 of the Robins' league 24 matches this season, scoring two goals, which has helped them reach second in the League Two table.

A club statement did not give any details on how long Glatzel was likely to be on the sidelines.

"He's had it before and he's really upset in there," Swindon manager Ian Holloway told BBC Radio Wiltshire following the win at Cheltenham.

"He's such a wonderful bloke and he works his socks off. To see him that down I think the lads really dug in, that really does hurt."
