In his second game for the squad Williams came off the bench and scored twice in a 3-2 defeat to Israel. says he is 'gutted' by a foot fracture that looks to have brought his season to a premature end after he was stretchered off during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Salisbury City at the Racecourse. The teenager, whose 13 league goals have helped put the Dragons into the Blue Square Premier promotion mix, was the victim of a freak non-contact accident that left him with a broken metatarsal metatarsal /meta·tar·sal/ (met?ah-tahr´sal) 1. pertaining to the metatarsus. 2. a bone of the metatarsus. met·a·tar·sal adj.

The injury is a massive blow too for Dragons manager Dean Saunders, who admitted he was unlikely to sign a replacement ahead of tomorrow's visit to promotion rivals Crawley.

"He could be out for at least six weeks, which is a massive blow because he has scored 16 goals for me since I joined the club. Marc will be more disappointed than anyone, but that's a part of football that everyone experiences at some stage." Saunders went on: "I'm going to have to replace Marc and I'm already looking around, but it's no easy task and nothing is likely to happen in the next couple of days."
