Paul Hurst gives reaction to Shrewsbury win and potential star injury
Paul Hurst has revealed Aaron Pierre has a groin injury and he does not envisage the defender being available to face Lincoln on Tuesday evening.
Shrewsbury produced one of the results of the season on Saturday as they beat relegation rivals Reading 3-2 at the Select Car Leasing Stadium.
They scored three outstanding individual goals taking a 2-0 lead through Jordan Shipley and Tom Bayliss early on.
But were pulled back by the Royals as Sam Smith and Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan scored.
Town led again through Tom Bloxham as the winger curled the ball into the top corner to register his first goal of the season for Shrewsbury – which ended up being the winner – at the end of the first half.
The only bad news on a wonderful day for Hurst and Shrewsbury was the groin injury sustained by Pierre just past the half-hour mark, and the boss gave an update on how the defender is doing.
He said: “He just said he has done it badly before, and it does not feel as bad as that – it is his groin, you could see he was really sore.
