Chris Hughton is expecting some good news from his injured goalkeeper.

Hughton says initial indications are that damage to Niki Maenpaa’s shoulder might not be as serious as it first appeared.

The Argus:

The Finnish international left the field shortly after Lincoln were awarded a penalty during their 3-1 win.

He landed awkwardly after going for a high ball in the incident in which referee Andy Madley spotted an infringement in the box.

Hughton said: “It was certainly bad enough for him to come off.

“I think we felt at the time it might be dislocated.

“We will find out the extent of it but certainly it is not dislocated.”
