Brandon Cooper is likely to be out for the season according to reports in the Swindon Advertiser after the defender picked up a a knee injury picked up during the 2-1 victory over Bradford City on Saturday.

Cooper went to Swindon on loan at the end of the January transfer window and has put in some impressive performances in a Swindon shirt as they bid for an immediate return to League One.

Cooper’s injury came hot on the heels of another injury for Swindon with another loanee – Joe Tomlinson ruled out for a period after becoming injured in the warm up for Saturday’s game.

“It’s not good news on Joe. It’s a fairly significant injury, and unfortunately it will be a period of weeks with him,” said Swindon head coach Ben Garner.

“There’s also worse news with Brandon Cooper as he suffered a knee injury as well. That’s a significant injury, and that’s possibly this season [done] for him.

“It’s disappointing on both fronts, more so for the players. They’ve both been fantastic since they walked in through the door, they’re great characters who really contributed to the team.

“They were growing and developing; on a personal level, I’m really disappointed for them.

“They will both come back stronger, they’ll both come back as better people, and I’m sure both will go on to have great careers in the game.

“Brandon’s injury was actually a result of a tackle in the first half – he got through the game, which is incredible considering the injury he sustained.

“But he’s a great character, a really, really good player. And we’re all really disappointed for him.

“He’s naturally very disappointed himself, but as always we’ll work very hard in conjunction with the parent club to help them rehab and get back as quickly as possible.

“Hopefully, by the end of the season, but if not then we’ll do our absolute best by them no matter what.”
