Fleetwood Town vs Burton Albion FC - Fleetwood wait on Victor Nirennold ahead of Burton clash

Fleetwood defender Victor Nirennold is a doubt for the visit of League One high-flyers Burton.

The 24-year-old came off after 50 minutes of last weekend's home defeat to Coventry and has been unable to train for the first half of this week.

That gives new manager Steven Pressley more problems to address in defence with no timescale yet set for the return of long-term absentee Nathan Pond.

Right-back Conor McLaughlin returns from international duty with Northern Ireland and Declan McManus is available after representing Scotland Under-21s.

Aurelien Joachim has returned from international duty with Luxembourg with a slight knock but the forward should be available to Burton boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.

Midfielder Callum Reilly has resumed training after an absence with a groin injury and he is back in contention, while Darius Charles is closing in on a return to full fitness and his Albion debut.

The summer signing is back in training - effectively doing his pre-season - as he continues his recovery from the broken leg he suffered in February.

Hasselbaink must decide whether or not to make changes to his team following last weekend's defeat at Walsall who, with their 2-0 victory, replaced Burton at the top of the League One table.
