Morecambe vs Doncaster - Luke Conlan available again for Morecambe after international duty

Posted Friday, September 09, 2016 by PA

Morecambe have defender Luke Conlan back available for Saturday's Sky Bet League Two home clash with Doncaster.

Conlan missed the second-placed Shrimps' 2-1 loss to Leyton Orient last weekend as he was on international duty with Northern Ireland Under-21s.

New signings James Jennings and Ntumba Massanka, unused substitutes in that game, will be hoping to get their first minutes in a Morecambe shirt this time around.

Aaron Wildig and Dean Winnard remain sidelined by knee problems, while Peter Murphy, who made his return from a knee injury in the Checkatrade Trophy last week, is not expected to be involved on this occasion.

Doncaster duo Alfie Beestin and Riccardo Calder are pushing for starts after being dropped for last weekend's defeat at Crewe.

Both players were on the scoresheet during their CheckatradeTrophy victory over Mansfield but failed to feature at Gresty Road.

Frazer Richardson should keep his place in the XI after making his debut for Darren Ferguson's side last time out, in place of the injured Michael Lund (kidney).

But Ferguson still has a long list of players out, with up to 10 players unavailable for the trip to Morecambe.
