It's now been uncovered that the centre back has a perforated eardrum which could sideline him for around 6 weeks. It may also require an operation and could affect his long-term hearing, but the extent of the injury hasn't been revealed.
Cort is the obvious replacement to parter Damien Delaney in defence while Joseph is out, although he is lacking in match fitness after being injured himself over pre-season. Richard Hinds or Junior Lewis could also move to centre back, but Alton Thelwell has a cartilage injury.
