Southend vs Burton - Phil Brown hoping to pocket Stephen Hendrie's services

Southend boss Phil Brown is hoping to have Stephen Hendrie back on loan at the club in time to feature against Burton in Sky Bet League One on Monday night.

The left-back's initial month-long loan spell from West Ham expired after Tuesday's game with Bradford but Brown expects him to return.

There are no fresh injury or suspension worries as the Blues look to move into the play-off places with a win.

Ryan Leonard (knee) remains on the sidelines.

Shane Cansdell-Sherriff could be fit for leaders Burton.

The experienced defender was withdrawn late on in the 1-0 home win against Chesterfield last weekend after feeling a problem with his groin. With Albion not in action until Monday night, the extra rest may work in his favour.

Should Cansdell-Sherriff not make it, Tom Flanagan, fit again following appendix surgery, will step in for the 33-year-old.

Burton boss Nigel Clough also has Callum Reilly, Lucas Akins, Anthony O'Connor and Timmy Thiele vying for recalls.
