Paul Digby starts suspension against Crewe
Posted Friday, December 21, 2018 by PA
Forest Green midfielder Paul Digby starts a suspension later than he would have expected at home to Crewe.
Digby was sent off during the 2-1 win at Yeovil on December 8 and should have started his three-match ban against Mansfield last weekend.
But the game was abandoned at half-time because of a waterlogged pitch and Digby will now miss Sky Bet League Two games against Crewe, Newport and Cheltenham.
The good news for Rovers boss Mark Cooper is that, apart from Digby, he has a full squad to choose from.
Crewe are sweating on the fitness of Chris Porter as the Railwaymen seek to improve on a record of three defeats from four games.
The veteran striker suffered a knee injury in the warm-up at Exeter last weekend and sat out the 1-0 defeat in Devon.
Teenager Lewis Reilly could come back into the frame if Porter is ruled out.
Veteran midfielder Paul Green, out since August with a knee injury, is closing in on a first-team return after making a successful appearance for the Under-23s last weekend.
