Phil Brown waiting on several Swindon players

Posted Friday, April 20, 2018 by PA

Swindon boss Phil Brown will make a series of late checks ahead of Saturday’s League Two clash with struggling Grimsby.

Striker Kaiyne Woolery is a doubt, while defender Olly Lancashire is rated at only 50-50 after missing last weekend’s 2-1 defeat at Newport with tight calf muscles.

In addition, loan signing Kellan Gordon has returned to parent club Derby after undergoing surgery on his dislocated shoulder.

Top-scorer Luke Norris, who also has a shoulder problem which has sidelined him for the last three games, is still missing.

Grimsby boss Michael Jolley has been dealt a blow by the news that defender Zak Mills is unlikely to play again this season after having an operation to repair a hernia.

However, Jolley could be able to call upon two men once again as he looks to ease further clear of the relegation zone.

Defender Ben Davies and striker Simeon Jackson were both fit enough to be included among the substitutes for last Saturday’s 2-2 home draw with Barnet, during which the latter played the final 16 minutes, and will be in contention once again after starting for the reserves in midweek.

However, Charles Vernam and Paul Dixon are yet to return to action.
