Bury vs Luton Town preview - Loan pair out for Shakers

Posted Friday, December 05, 2014 by PA

Bury will be without recent loan recruits Robert Milsom and Adam El-Abd for Luton's visit to the JD Stadium in the FA Cup second round.

Midfielder Milsom revealed last weekend that he had not been given permission to feature from parent club Rotherham, while defender El-Abd is cup-tied having featured in Bristol City's first-round win at Gillingham.

Hallam Hope missed last weekend's loss against Dagenham with food poisoning, while both Chris Hussey and Chris Sedgwick were also absent because of illness.

Centre-back Pablo Mills (groin) may return but full-back Hayden White (knee) has gone back to Bolton and goalkeeper Scott Loach (calf) has returned to Rotherham.

Luton will make the trip north without several injured players.

Paul Benson suffered a broken leg in last weekend's 3-0 league win against Mansfield and the striker is set to be out for around six weeks. Midfielder Shaun Whalley is also carrying a knock following that home victory and he too will sit out the second round tie.

Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu, Luke Guttridge, Alex Lawless (foot), Ross Lafayette (hernia) and Curtley Williams (shoulder) are also unavailable.

One piece of good news for Hatters boss John Still sees the return from suspension of defender Luke Wilkinson.
