Gloucester City are in talks to sign Bristol Rovers midfielder Luke Russe on loan after Jennison Myrie-Williams suffered an injury setback.
Russe looks set to return the the Tigers after a successful loan spell with the club last season, scoring one goal in nine league starts.
Adding to a long list of injury concerns, former Bristol City player Myrie-Williams looks to miss up to two months of action.
“He’s got a setback with his injury, what we thought the injury was has now not turned out to be that. It’s turned out to be something different,” said Cook.
“We spoke to the physio, who is very disappointed as it’s not what she thought it was, which has set him back another month to six weeks we think.”
“It’s one of the reasons, along with a couple of injuries last night, that we’re are trying to get Luke Russe in.”
City are severely lacking squad depth after handing five youngsters first team action in a win in Kidderminster.
Cook admitted: “I don’t mind having two or three 18-year-olds being in the team but if we're going to have five or six we’re going to struggle.
"We need to make sure we blood the youngsters in at the right times, giving them a few games here and there but not have a team of them because there is just too much inexperience.”
