The 33-year-old midfielder was involved in a clash of heads towards the end of the game on Tuesday evening, which the Robins won 2-1 courtesy of goals from Ashley Vincent and Paul Connor.

"Craig has a cut lip but apart from that he is okay," Cheltenham assistant manager Bob Bloomer told the club's official website.

"He was knocked unconscious so there was obviously a concern about him and he spent some time being looked over by the paramedic in the treatment room.

"He was a bit groggy but he came back with us to the hotel and he is fine. Craig will be taking it easy for the next few days but he seems to have recovered alright."
