Luke Waterfall back for Lincoln’s crucial game with Exeter

Lincoln have captain Luke Waterfall available again for their crunch Sky Bet League Two clash with play-off rivals Exeter.

Defender Waterfall has missed the Imps’ last three games through suspension following his sending off against Mansfield earlier this month.

His availability gives manager Danny Cowley a potential selection headache with City having collected seven points in those last three outings and conceded just twice.

Goalkeeper Josh Vickers (leg) remains on the sidelines but is hopeful of returning for the final few games.

Exeter will give fitness tests to midfielders Ryan Harley and Lee Holmes.

Harley missed last weekend’s victory over Swindon while Homes has been absent for four games but both are close to returning after knocks.

The Grecians are still without long-term casualties Jordan Moore-Taylor and Troy Brown.

Manager Paul Tisdale has no other new injury concerns.
