BORO striker Charlie Griffin is set to undergo surgery later this week to repair his fractured cheekbone and broken nose.
Griffin underwent CT scans on Saturday night before being released from hospital on Sunday morning with doctors wanting the swelling to go down before they operate.
The challenge by Robin Hulbert on Griffin incensed Boro with manager Graham Westley saying there is no place in football for that kind of challenge.
"The boys, they're not a bunch of lads who would moan or complain lightly," the Boro boss said afterwards.

"Knowing the lads, if they're moaning about it must have been pretty horrific.

"The boy concerned (Hulbert), I do think he needs to take a look at himself."
Westley did feel however that Hulbert's indiscretion shouldn't take away from Barrow enjoying their victory.
