McPhillips set to give duo late fitness test
Posted Thursday, March 07, 2019 by PA
Blackpool boss Terry McPhillips has a few fitness checks to make ahead of Saturday’s League One clash against Southend.
McPhillips said two unnamed players had picked up knocks in the midweek win at Accrington and would face late tests.
There is better news for Marc Bola, who could be ready to return after missing the last four matches with a hamstring injury, while Callum Guy is also nearing a return.
Jimmy Ryan and Max Clayton remain sidelined, however.
Southend have had a major boost on the injury front with Jason Demetriou ready to return.
The right-back has been missing since November with a knee injury but is in the frame for Saturday’s match.
John White (groin) and goalkeeper Mark Oxley (back) have also been back in training and could be pushing for a place on the bench.
Last week’s 3-0 home defeat against Barnsley left Southend without a win in seven league outings, having slipped to 13th in the standings.
