Shrewsbury without suspended midfielder Dave Edwards for Burton clash
Posted Friday, February 15, 2019 by PA
Shrewsbury will be without midfielder Dave Edwards for Saturday’s League One showdown with Burton as he begins a three-match ban.
Edwards, who had earlier come on as a substitute, was shown a straight red card for a tackle late in the Shrews’ 1-1 draw at Bristol Rovers last Saturday and the club were unsuccessful in their appeal against the decision.
Greg Docherty is also likely to miss out with an eye injury suffered during the same game, but manager Sam Ricketts could call upon defender Ryan Haynes once again following his recovery from an ankle problem.
Midfielder Romain Vincelot continues his recovery from knee surgery which is expected to sideline him for another five weeks before he can resume training.
Burton boss Nigel Clough will welcome defender John Brayford back from a one-match ban after he sat out last Saturday’s 2-0 win at Wimbledon.
Brayford was dismissed 12 minutes into the 0-0 home draw with Oxford on February 2, but is available once again.
However, Clough is likely to have to do without Josh Clarke and Ben Fox for the trip to the Montgomery Waters Meadow Stadium.
Clarke is battling an ankle injury while Fox continues his recovery from a hamstring problem.
