Chesterfield have confirmed that Tyrone Williams has undergone surgery after he went off injured against Swindon Town on Saturday.
Williams went down after 14 minutes following a collision in the penalty area from a Swindon free kick and after a ten-minute delay to the match, during which he was being seen to by paramedics, was stretchered off the pitch.
After the match, Chesterfield manager Paul Cook opted not to do any interviews due to the situation with Williams.
On Sunday evening, Chesterfield provided an update on the 30-year-old’s status and thanked the Swindon fans for their support.

“For myself and everybody at the football club, we hope he is ok.”
