Danny Grainger set for Carlisle return
Posted Thursday, November 01, 2018 by PA
Carlisle could be boosted by the return of Danny Grainger for the Sky Bet League Two game against Newport as they look to end a run of five home games without scoring.
Grainger was on the bench last time out but did not feature having trained for just three days, but he could well come in for Saturday’s match.
The Cumbrians will also be without fellow defender Tom Parkes after he pulled a hamstring and will not feature for at least three weeks, according to assistant manager Tommy Wright.
Striker Hallam Hope looks set to miss the next match despite ongoing treatment.
Newport could be without seven players for the trip after three players went off injured against Morecambe.
Mark O’Brien, Scot Bennett and Jamille Matt all came off against the Shrimps and although they have not yet been ruled out, manager Mike Flynn said it may be too soon for the trio.
Flynn added there will be last-minute decisions on two players, and Fraser Franks will miss the match as he serves the last game of his three-match suspension.
Long-term absentee Andrew Crofts has been responding well to treatment on his Achilles and could return soon, but not this weekend.
