Port Vale midfielder Oyeleke sidelined until January

Port Vale manager John Askey will be without midfielder Emmanuel Oyeleke until January at the earliest.
Oyeleke is sidelined after undergoing surgery on his hamstring in London on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old suffered the injury in August and aggravated it in the game at Leyton Orient last month. It had been hoped Oyeleke would be back in six weeks, but the operation means a longer recovery period.
