Vokes is quoted in Bournemouth Evening Echo as saying: "I've gone for the ball and their centre-half came in studs-up and I've got two stud marks around the ribs where he followed through. And somehow the free-kick went against me. It was a terrible challenge. His foot was up by my chest and the stud marks show where and how bad the challenge was. I thought my ribs were broken. It was a massive blow coming off so early".
