SOUTHEND United star Gus Scott-Morriss was limping towards the end of Tuesday night’s defeat at AFC Fylde after suffering a thigh problem.

Scott-Morriss scored his seventh goal of the season in the 2-1 defeat.

But the wing-back appeared to be in pain late on.

Shrimpers boss Kevin Maher confirmed: "He got a whack on the top of his thigh which was tightening up.

“We’ll have to see how it settles down.”
