Accrington Stanley vs Morecambe - John O'Sullivan optimistic of lining up for Accrington against Morecambe
Posted Friday, August 26, 2016 by PA
Midfielder John O'Sullivan is confident he can overcome a knock to make Accrington's derby clash with Morecambe.
The Blackburn loanee impressed in the EFL Cup victory against Burnley before limping off after a robust challenge in extra time, but he stated on Twitter that it was "nothing serious" ahead of the Shrimps' visit.
Striker Billy Kee was another who was forced off with an injury problem and he will need to be assessed.
Chris Eagles, Terry Gornell (groin) and Scott Brown (calf) all missed the visit of the Clarets and look set to sit out again.
Morecambe boss Jim Bentley is set to have the same group of players to select from as he did for Wednesday's EFL Cup clash with Bournemouth.
The Shrimps appeared to come through the second-round tie at the Globe Arena - which they lost 2-1 - without sustaining any fresh injuries.
And none of the trio of players who did miss out are expected to return on Saturday.
Aaron Wildig, Dean Winnard and skipper Peter Murphy have all been nursing knee injuries.
