Cheltenham vs Carlisle preview - Robins wait on Harrison

Posted Monday, August 18, 2014 by PA

Cheltenham will check on striker Byron Harrison before they welcome Carlisle.

The 27-year-old was taken off with a dead leg just after scoring the opener into their 2-1 win over Accrington on Saturday and boss Mark Yates confirmed he will be assessed in the build up to kick off.

Harrison's replacement against Stanley, Birmingham loanee Koby Arthur, scored the winning goal and will hope to have done enough to force his way into the starting line-up whatever the verdict is on Harrison.

That victory on Saturday was Cheltenham's first on home soil since March 15.

Carlisle are missing the suspended Alex Marrow for the game.

Marrow was sent off in Saturday's 3-1 loss at Wycombe and sits out a one-match ban, which adds to Graham Kavanagh's selection woes.

David Amoo was absent at the weekend and is still carrying a knock, Matty Robson faces a race against time to recover from a knee injury and Troy Archibald-Henville is still sidelined with a leg problem.

Kavanagh told the club website: "We need to get back to the drawing board pretty quickly and we need to start getting results. There were a lot of silly, individual errors at Wycombe which you really can't legislate for."
