Hyam in contention as Southend play host to Blackpool

Southend will have midfielder Luke Hyam in contention again for the Sky Bet League One match against Blackpool.

Hyam made his long-awaited return from an ankle injury in the midweek Checkatrade Trophy win over Southampton Under-21s, so is expected to feature again.

Southend reported no fresh injury problems, but manager Chris Powell has a depleted squad, with centre-back Harry Lennon not expected to be available until the new year after suffering a fractured leg.

Summer signing Sam Barratt is out for the season with a serious knee injury, along with left-back Ben Coker, midfielder Lewis Gard and forward Tom Hopper.

Blackpool have a near fully fit squad to take down to Essex.

Manager Terry McPhillips confirmed there were no fresh injury concerns following the Checkatrade Trophy win over Accrington on Tuesday night.

On-loan Rangers midfielder Joe Dodoo scored twice to add to his goal in the FA Cup tie against Exeter, so will be hoping to retain a place in the starting XI.

Club captain Jimmy Ryan continues his recovery from knee surgery, while forward Max Clayton is also not yet back in full training.
