Morecambe vs Coventry - Ryan Edwards is suspended for Morecambe's Cup clash with Coventry

Posted Friday, November 04, 2016 by PA

Morecambe will be without Ryan Edwards for Sunday's FA Cup first-round home clash with Coventry.

The defender picked up his fifth booking of the season in last weekend's 3-0 League Two loss to Exeter so must serve a one-match ban.

Andrew Fleming is available again having completed his suspension for the same reason.

Aaron Wildig is hopeful of being part of the matchday squad after five games sidelined by severe bruising, while Dean Winnard, who returned for the Exeter match as an unused substitute, is looking to get his first minutes since recovering from a groin issue.

Coventry boss Mark Venus will be without at least four players for the trip to the north-west.

Lewis Page is suspended after being sent off in Tuesday night's win over Chesterfield while Gael Bigirimana is also out after picking up his fifth booking of the season in the same fixture.

Jamie Sterry and Dan Agyei are both unable to play due to the terms of their loan agreements with Newcastle and Burnley respectively.

But Andre Wright, who is currently on loan from West Brom, is set to be eligible to line up for Venus's men.
