He was treated on the pitch for seven minutes before being withdrawn in an ambulance. Bray were forced to play the remainder of the game with ten men having made all of their alloted substitutions – including bringing McGovern on for Gary McCabe after 26 minutes.
McGovern joins a long injury list for Wanderers, with Aaron Dillon, Hugh Douglas, Calvin Rogers, John Sullivan, Darragh Noone, Jake Kelly, Rhys Gorman, Jake Ellis, and Aaron Greene all joining him on the sidelines.
