Blackpool vs Burton Albion FC preview - Seasiders wait on Jones

Lloyd Jones is expected to be fine to feature for Blackpool against Burton at Bloomfield Road.

The centre-back took a whack to the knee during the 2-0 loss to Rochdale in Neil McDonald's first home game but completed 90 minutes anyway.

The Seasiders have not won a competitive game in seven months and will remain with Kyle Letheren in goal as first-choice keeper Colin Doyle (shoulder) is still a couple of weeks away.

Midfielder John Herron is the Tangerines' other absentee due to a knee problem.

The trip looks like coming too soon for Zeli Ismail so Burton boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink will select from an unchanged squad.

On-loan Wolves winger Ismail has yet to play this season after suffering a knee injury in the week leading up to the first game of the campaign.

Fellow summer signing Darius Charles (leg) has also yet to feature because of injury while defender Liam Slade is back in training after an ankle problem but this game will come too soon for him to be involved.

Hasselbaink may name an unchanged team but the likes of Callum Reilly, Calum Butcher, Anthony O'Connor, Timmy Thiele, Jerome Binnom-Williams and Matt Palmer will hope to change his mind.
