Marcus Browne and Jamie Mackie ruled out of Oxford’s clash with Walsall
Posted Thursday, September 20, 2018 by PA
Oxford are without midfielder Marcus Browne and forward Jamie Mackie for the visit of Walsall in Sky Bet League One.
Browne has a knee problem, while Mackie could be sidelined for up to six weeks with a hip injury.
Midfielder Jamie Hanson is available again after completing his three-match suspension.
Samir Carruthers and Simon Eastwood could return in the coming weeks but Rob Hall is out long term following a knee operation.
Walsall boss Dean Keates could make changes after his side’s unbeaten start to the season was emphatically ended by a 4-1 loss to Doncaster last weekend.
That game saw team-mates Morgan Ferrier and Luke Leahy become involved in a dispute on the field that had to be broken up by other members of the side.
Keates said afterwards the matter had been satisfactorily resolved but added that places were on the line as a result of the disappointing display.
Midfielder Isaiah Osbourne will be back in the reckoning after being forced off against Doncaster by illness.
