Swindon to assess Michael Doughty ahead of Cambridge clash
Posted Monday, October 22, 2018 by PA
Swindon manager Phil Brown will check on the fitness of leading scorer Michael Doughty before deciding what role – if any – he will play against Cambridge.
Doughty has scored six goals in all competitions this season, but was sidelined for seven games with a hip injury before coming through Saturday’s goalless draw at home to 10-man Mansfield unscathed.
Brown admits he does not want Doughty suffering a setback by playing too much football in a short space of time.
Sid Nelson, who played 90 minutes against the Stags, showed no signs of discomfort from the hip problem that sidelined him for three games.
Cambridge defender Brad Halliday misses the trip after being booked for the fifth time this season in Saturday’s 1-1 draw at leaders Lincoln.
Defender Jake Carroll returns to the squad following his red card against Forest Green at the start of October.
George Maris and Liam O’Neil will both be assessed closer to the game after sustaining knocks at Sincil Bank.
Harrison Dunk, Jabo Ibehre and Dimitar Mitov are all close to returning to first-team action.
