Carlisle vs Notts County - Carlisle head to Deepdale for clash with Notts County

Posted Friday, December 18, 2015 by PA

Carlisle will stage their 'home' fixture against Notts County at Preston's Deepdale ground as work to restore Brunton Park continues following severe recent flood damage.

Manager Keith Curle has no major new injury worries and is not expected to make many unforced changes, but defender Tom Miller remains doubtful due to the hamstring injury which has kept him out for three matches.

Goalkeeper Mark Gillespie returned for last week's 1-1 draw at Oxford in place of Dan Hanford following illness and is expected to resume.

On-loan Newcastle midfielder Macaulay Gillesphey was back on the bench as an unused substitute last week following a pelvic injury and is hoping to feature.

Liam Noble is suspended again for Notts County after his red card at Wycombe in midweek.

It was the second time this season the midfielder has been sent off so he will serve a four-match ban.

Stanley Aborah is back in training but unlikely to be risked. The Belgian injured his knee against Barnet a fortnight ago and the best he could hope for would be a place on the bench.

Kyle De Silva is also struggling with a knock and is likely to be missing from the travelling squad.
