Port Vale vs Sheffield United - Louis Dodds set to feature for Port Vale against Sheff Utd
Posted Friday, October 02, 2015 by PA
Port Vale striker Louis Dodds is expected to be available for Saturday's Sky Bet League One home clash with Sheffield United.
Dodds missed the 1-1 draw with Oldham on Tuesday due to a calf problem but should be fit for the weekend.
On-loan Ryan Inniss has returned to parent club Crystal Palace to have his dislocated shoulder assessed and it is understood Vale are still waiting to hear whether the defender will require surgery.
Midfielder Michael O'Connor is still not yet ready to make his comeback from a knee injury, while goalkeeper Chris Neal (ankle) also remains sidelined.
Sheffield United pair Jose Baxter and Che Adams are both expected to return to the squad after missing the goalless midweek draw at Burton.
Midfielder Baxter was rested due to a groin strain and forward Adams was dropped following a disciplinary issue last weekend.
Defender Craig Alcock remains doubtful due to a bruised hip sustained in last weekend's home win against Doncaster and boss Nigel Adkins will also monitor midfielders Ryan Flynn and Paul Coutts.
Flynn (groin) and Coutts (knee) had only recently returned to the side but were both forced off due to knocks at Burton.
