Colchester midfielder Lapslie doubtful for Carlisle visit
Posted Friday, February 22, 2019 by PA
Colchester will check on midfielder Tom Lapslie ahead of the Sky Bet League Two match against play-off rivals Carlisle.
Lapslie faces a late fitness test after he was forced off with a hamstring problem during the second half of last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Macclesfield.
Midfielder Brandon Comley is expected to be sidelined for another couple of weeks with a knee injury.
Harry Pell (hamstring) continues his own recovery from a hamstring problem picked up during the win over Cheltenham earlier in February.
Carlisle will be without midfielder Jamie Devitt for the second game of a three-match suspension.
Devitt was shown a straight red card during the 2-1 defeat at Crewe on February 12 for kicking out at full-back Perry Ng.
Carlisle boss Steven Pressley expects to have captain Danny Grainger available after a dead leg, while centre-back Tom Parkes (groin) could also be in contention.
Midfielder Jason Kennedy is closing in on a return after recovering from a pelvic operation, while winger Arthur Gnahoua (hamstring) and Macauley Gillesphey (knee) are long-term absentees.
