Michael Doughty returns to contention as Swindon take on Colchester

Posted Tuesday, September 17, 2019 by PA

Swindon midfielder Michael Doughty returns from suspension but will have to do with a place on the bench in the Sky Bet League Two clash with Colchester.

Doughty was banned for three games following his red card in the draw at Cheltenham but in his absence Richie Wellens’ men have won three-straight games and are set to name an unchanged line-up from the team that beat Macclesfield on Saturday.

Captain Dion Conroy will face a late check after a dead leg, while full-back Zeki Fryers returned from injury on the bench against Macclesfield and is again likely to be a substitute with Ellis Iandolo continuing at left-back.

Midfielder Jordan Lyden is still two to three weeks from a return following a quad injury.

Brandon Comley could be in contention to return for Colchester.

Comley missed the weekend defeat to Forest Green with fatigue following his international commitments with Montserrat but may return at the County Ground.

Freddie Hinds and Cohen Bramall are also pushing for returns after playing for the under-23s last week.

Harry Pell remains on the treatment table with an Achilles problem.
