Aidan Davison will have an operation on his shoulder tomorrow.

The U’s veteran goalkeeper, who has been sidelined with a shoulder injury since the end of October, will go under the knife to try to discover what is causing the problem, as scans failed to identify the source of the injury.

Davison’s continued absence will see Dean Gerken retain his place between the sticks this weekend, having recovered from the knock that forced him to come off against Bristol City.
