Jones has no injury concerns over striker Hylton
The 17-goal frontman, who was making his first start since the 1-0 win over Morecambe back in January, needed treatment after 66 minutes of the 1-1 draw, before being replaced by Jake Jervis.
When asked if he was concerned over a recurrence of the injury which has kept him out for the best part of seven games, Jones said: “He just stiffened up because he hasn’t played regularly.

Hylton came back in for attacker Harry Cornick who wasn’t even on the bench as explaining his absence, Jones continued: “It was just a sore hamstring.
“He felt a little bit of cramp, it turned into a sore hamstring, we knew it would be a heavy pitch, so we didn’t want to gamble with him.
“That’s the only thing, nothing serious, he’ll be back Monday for training.”

“It’s an unfortunate one for him, and was an opportunity for him today but that happens.”
