Colchester waiting on Brennan Dickenson and Tom Lapslie

Colchester will hand late fitness tests to Brennan Dickenson and Tom Lapslie before selecting their team to host League Two leaders Accrington.

Dickenson and Lapslie missed Monday’s 2-1 victory at Forest Green with minor thigh and hamstring injuries respectively.

Ryan Inniss has already been ruled out with a knee injury.

Colchester manager John McGreal otherwise has a fully-fit squad to choose from.

Accrington have Aaron Chapman available again following injury.

The goalkeeper missed Monday’s victory over Notts County after being involved in a car crash but escaped unscathed.

Jonny Maxted impressed in keeping a clean sheet in his absence and Chapman will vie with him for selection.

Janoi Donacien returned from illness against Notts County and is expected to retain his place.
