Cristian Montano to miss out for Port Vale
Posted Thursday, April 12, 2018 by PA
Port Vale must replace Cristian Montano for the visit of Sky Bet League Two high-fliers Lincoln.
The Colombian left-back had been one of Vale’s best performers, but a hamstring injury suffered in last weekend’s home defeat to Crawley has ended his season prematurely.
Danny Pugh remains unavailable as he completes a three-match ban and Kyle Howkins (knee) remains a doubt.
Vale are seven points above the relegation zone and boss Neil Aspin could turn to striker Anton Forrester after his four-goal show for the reserves in midweek.
Sixth-placed Lincoln, on a high after Checkatrade Trophy glory, are still in the hunt for automatic promotion.
The Imps have had a free week since beating Shrewsbury at Wembley and boss Danny Cowley must decide whether to keep a winning team.
Skipper Luke Waterfall made his first start in six games against the Shrews after losing his place following suspension.
On-loan Scott Wharton missed out at Wembley as he was cup-tied, but he has impressed in Lincoln’s six-game unbeaten run in the league.
