Shrewsbury Town vs Burton Albion FC preview - Passley set for Shrews bow

Shrewsbury could hand a debut to defender Josh Passley when they tackle Burton.

The 20-year-old has signed on loan from Fulham until January and replaces Jack Grimmer who was recalled by the Cottagers this week.

Boss Micky Mellon could make changes after Town threw away a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 at Exeter last weekend.

Andy Mangan has been sidelined for two weeks with what Mellon has described as a niggle.

Burton have signed Remi Matthews on a month's loan from Norwich after goalkeeper Chris Weale picked up an ankle injury in training.

Weale had been brought in on loan from Yeovil after Dean Lyness suffered a broken leg in training but now Matthews, 20, will provide the competition to Jon McLaughlin for the gloves.

Dutch defender Kelvin Maynard also joined the Brewers this week and he is also pushing to make his debut for Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's side.

Ian Sharps continues to nurse a foot problem but the centre-half is not too far away from a return to the squad, but midfielder Jimmy Phillips is still a couple of weeks away from making a comeback as he recovers from a knee problem.
