Miller in line for cup return
Posted Tuesday, August 14, 2018 by PA
Crewe striker Shaun Miller could be back in contention for the visit of Fleetwood in the Carabao Cup.
The 30-year-old, who signed a permanent deal with the club in the summer, has missed the first two games of the season with a minor knee injury but is now back in training.
Captain George Ray is unlikely to be risked after missing the defeat at Newport on Saturday with hip and back problems.
Forward Chris Porter is also doubtful after suffering a knock last week.
Fleetwood boss Joey Barton could give youngster Nathan Sheron another opportunity after handing the 20-year-old a debut in Saturday’s victory over Oxford.
The midfielder became the club’s first homegrown player to feature for the first team in League football when he went on for the last 23 minutes.
Sheron replaced veteran summer signing Dean Marney, who may hope for more game time as he builds up his match fitness after more than a year out through injury.
Barton will hope to build some momentum against the League Two side after securing his first win in management at the weekend.
