Laurent out for Shrewsbury as they entertain Rochdale
Posted Friday, August 16, 2019 by PA
Shrewsbury boss Sam Ricketts will still be without Josh Laurent when his side face Rochdale in Sky Bet League One.
The former Wigan attacker appeared against Portsmouth on the opening weekend despite suffering a pre-season setback, but a muscle problem forced him back into the treatment room alongside long-term absentees Ryan Sears and Lenell John-Lewis.
Fellow midfielder Ollie Norburn remains sidelined for up to another month with a knee injury picked up on their pre-season trip to Portugal, whilst centre-half Ro-Shaun Williams (hamstring) will also miss out after limping off in the Shrews’ defeat to MK Dons on Saturday.
Abo Eisa completed a move to fellow League One outfit Scunthorpe for an undisclosed fee.
Dale midfielder Jimmy Ryan misses out after he was given a retrospective three-match ban following the opening-day 3-2 victory at Tranmere.
Ryan will serve his final game on the sidelines before returning to contention for the squad to face Sunderland on Tuesday.
Blackburn loanee Tyler Magloire will be looking to keep his place in the starting XI after making his debut in the 5-2 Carabao Cup win over local rivals Bolton.
Forward Aaron Wilbraham, who penned a new one-year deal in June, did not feature against Bolton due to the calf injury he sustained in pre-season and is a doubt to face Shrewsbury.
