Stevenage Borough vs Carlisle preview - Boro still depleted for clash

Posted Friday, April 24, 2015 by PA

Stevenage are still depleted by injuries ahead of the home clash with Carlisle.

Ronnie Henry (hip) and Calvin Zola (hamstring) look likely to miss out again while Adam Marriott (knee) and Darius Charles (broken leg) are out for the season.

Defenders Jon Ashton and Harry Worley were named on the bench for the 2-2 draw at Accrington last weekend despite not being 100 per cent fit, with the latter having only recently returned from a long-term knee injury.

Boro know a victory over the Cumbrians will secure a place in the play-offs.

Carlisle striker Billy Paynter could make his first start for the club since November.

Paynter stepped off the bench in last week's home win against Plymouth to score only his second goal of the season and both Steven Rigg and Derek Asamoah are doubtful after being forced out of the game due to injury.

Fellow forward Charlie Wyke could return to contention following a recent knock sustained in training, but defender Troy Archibald-Henville will miss the last two games as he is still suspended.

Winger David Amoo, midfielder Dave Symington and forward Stephen Elliott remain sidelined through injury.
