Morecambe vs Notts County preview - Morecambe low on numbers for for Notts County visit

Posted Friday, August 28, 2015 by PA

Morecambe boss Jim Bentley has further personnel problems ahead of his side's League Two clash with Notts County on Saturday.

Defender Alan Goodall faces a late fitness test after limping out early in the second half of last week's 3-3 draw at Portsmouth.

If Goodall is ruled out, Bentley is likely to hand a start to Alex Kenyon, who deputised at Fratton Park as the Shrimpers gave up a three-goal lead.

Defender Ryan Edwards and midfielder Kevin Ellison are both still ruled out through suspension.

Stanley Aborah is the latest player who must serve a suspension for Notts County, who have had three red cards in their first six league and cup games.

Aborah's absence, however, is a consequence of collecting his fifth yellow card of the season during the Capital One Cup defeat to Aston Villa. He will serve a one-match ban.

With Liam Noble also banned after his dismissal against Accrington and Curtis Thompson (hamstring) and Rob Milsom (knee) injured, it leaves Magpies manager Ricardo Moniz with problems in midfield.

Moniz mentioned no new injury issues but tiredness may effect his team selection following extra-time at Villa Park on Tuesday night.
