Swindon manager Ben Garner told the Swindon Advertiser: “It’s not good news on Joe. It’s a fairly significant injury, and unfortunately it will be a period of weeks out for him. He’s been fantastic since he walked in through the door. He’s a great character who really contributed to the team.”

Tomlinson, who scored one goal in six appearances for Swindon, added: “Gutted is an understatement. I will be back and I will be back better than before. Already counting down the days till I’m back wearing the shirt. Until then I’ll be a Town fan again and will be supporting the boys every way I can.”

Tomlinson has started five games for Posh, three of them in the Championship.
