Fakinos who has been told that he will require knee surgery which will keen him out for the remainder of the campaign.

Fleet manager Liam Daish (pictured) said: "He has damage to his cartilage and anterior cruciate ligament and will undergo an operation in the next week or so.

"I am gutted for Cesc (Fakinos), he will have a long haul back from this type of injury but he has the character and determination to do so".

Meanwhile, defender Ian Simpemba has signed for Dover Athletic for a nominal fee.

Daish said: "Ian expressed a wish to play first team football and, as the deal suited all parties, we reluctantly agreed to the move.
