Morecambe vs Grimsby Town - Peter Murphy still missing for Morecambe

Morecambe are still without captain Peter Murphy for the Sky Bet League Two visit of Grimsby through suspension.

The midfielder completes a three-match ban for his sending off against Barnet earlier this month.

Another midfielder, Alex Kenyon, is also on the sidelines after knee surgery.

Ryan Edwards and Michael Rose are just one booking each away from suspension, adding to the pressure on the Shrimps' small squad.

Grimsby manager Marcus Bignot has almost a fully-fit squad at his disposal for the trip.

Midfielder Dominic Vose, on loan from Scunthorpe, has returned to training after a thigh injury, although he is a couple of weeks away from returning to action.

A number of players are pushing for places in the squad after impressing Bignot in a reserve-team win over Mansfield on Tuesday, with Sean McAllister and Scott Vernon scoring the goals.

Midfielders Luke Maxwell and Brandon Comley, who came on as substitutes in the 3-0 win over the Stags last week, also caught the eye for the second string after playing the full 90 minutes.
