Barnet vs Morecambe - Barnet without banned Bira Dembele against Morecambe

Posted Tuesday, September 27, 2016 by PA

Barnet defender Bira Dembele will miss Tuesday's visit of Morecambe through suspension.

Dembele, who returned to Martin Allen's side on Saturday following a rib injury, was sent off during their 5-1 defeat against Portsmouth and will start his three-match ban.

Allen could makes changes for the clash at the Hive Stadium with defender Bondz N'Gala and striker Shaun Batt two of five players dropped to the bench on Saturday.

Michael Gash (knee ligament), Gavin Hoyte (knee ligament) and James Pearson (knee) are still long-term absentees.

Morecambe manager Jim Bentley has no new injury worries ahead of the long trip.

Midfielder Andy Fleming is a doubt with the ankle injury which forced him to miss Saturday's 3-2 defeat against Crawley.

Cole Stockton is fully fit after starting on the bench at the weekend following a bout of illness while Peter Murphy had no ill effects from starting his first league match in eight months after a knee injury.

Alex Whitmore will serve the final game of his three-match suspension following his red card against Doncaster earlier this month.
