Dan Nlundulu will not be at Cheltenham Town manager Michael Duff’s disposal for the rest of this season, The Robins boss confirmed yesterday.
The 23 year old joined on loan from Southampton in January and hit the ground running at The Jonny-Rocks Stadium, but unfortunately for Cheltenham, Duff and Nlundulu, he won’t be seen in the red and black strip again this term.

“Dan’s had a scan and I think its definite now he’s done for the season so I’ll be speaking to him this afternoon to touch base.
“He came in after a disappointing spell at Lincoln reenergized and delivered three or four really good performances and then unfortunately did his hamstring.
“The supporters took to him really well too, it’s unfortunate but sometimes that happens in football.”
Duff’s choices in the attacking area have been short in recent weeks with another loanee Kion Etete also being unavailable in recent weeks.
The striker who played the start of the season with League Two Northampton Town went back to parent club Tottenham Hotspur to treat an injury.
But Duff is optimistic that the young starlet will be back in the side in the coming weeks.
“We are looking at next week. We’re still waiting for a phone call today but even if we do get the good news that he’s back with us, it’ll probably be too soon on Saturday.”

Another name who may not feature again in a Cheltenham shirt this season is Welsh defender Ben Williams.
The 22 year old signed from Barnsley in January alongside Reece Hutchinson to cover the departure of stalwart Chris Hussey to Port Vale.
But similarly to Nlundulu, a hamstring injury could prevent him for playing again this campaign.
“It looks like it’s going to be more than a couple of weeks so your looking at least four weeks.
“So with not that many weeks left to go it’ll be touch and go whether we see him again and if its worth for the sake of a week or one game risking him.
“But its definitely two or three weeks.”
Michael Duff’s side travel to the Hillsborough Stadium to face Sheffield Wednesday tomorrow.
