Hylton facing late fitness test ahead of Morecambe visit

League Two leaders Luton hope to have top-scorer Danny Hylton back for the visit of Morecambe.

Striker Hylton, who has hit 15 league goals so far this season, will be given a late fitness test after missing last weekend’s defeat at Chesterfield due to a tight hamstring.

Hatters winger Luke Gambin (knock) is expected to miss out, while defender Alan Sheehan remains unavailable as he completes a three-match suspension following his red card against Lincoln on January 1.

Scott Cuthbert (groin) and Alan McCormack (calf) are long-term absentees.

Forward Callum Lang is a doubt for Morecambe.

The 19-year-old, who is on loan from Wigan, has been nursing an ankle injury sustained in the 1-1 home draw with Stevenage last time out.

That result made it seven points collected by the Shrimps in their last three matches.

Jim Bentley’s 19th-placed side had lost each of their previous three games.
