Blackpool overcame Exeter City with a 1-0 victory at Bloomfield Road on Good Friday.

Josh Bowler looks likely to miss the remainder of the season for Blackpool due to a hamstring issue.

The winger, who returned to the Fylde Coast for a third stint on a free transfer from Nottingham Forest in the summer, had started to rediscover some of his best form across the last few weeks following a difficult campaign on the whole.

An influential performance from the 27-year-old against Port Vale last month helped the Seasiders to start their current run of 10 points from the last four games.

After being withdrawn early against Burton Albion last weekend, Bowler played no part of Good Friday’s 1-0 victory over Exeter City at Bloomfield Road.

The games continue to come thick and fast for Blackpool, with a trip Stevenage on Easter Monday before returning home for the visit of Peterborough United next Saturday.

Providing an update on Bowler, Seasiders head coach Ian Evatt said: “It’s not great news. He has got a hamstring injury. We haven’t written off the season yet, but if he was to play again then it would be a risk.

“Hopefully we won’t be in that position.”
