Chris Hussey absent for Swindon

Posted Friday, May 04, 2018 by PA

Swindon will be without defender Chris Hussey when they conclude their season on Saturday by hosting Sky Bet League Two champions Accrington.

Hussey has been handed a five-game suspension by the Football Association, plus a £4,000 fine, following an incident that took place in the wake of the 2-1 loss at Newport on April 14.

The 29-year-old, who has been on loan from Sheffield United, has returned to his parent club, as has midfielder Ollie Banks, who was told this week by Robins boss Phil Brown that he “wasn’t needed for the game so he could go back” to Oldham.

Olly Lancashire (back) remains sidelined along with Luke Norris (shoulder), but Matt Preston (knee) could be back involved, having trained this week.

Accrington boss John Coleman may retain the same starting line-up once again.

The team for the 1-0 home win over Lincoln last Saturday, when Stanley secured the title, was the same as that which had started the previous five games.

Coleman has no injuries or suspensions in his squad to contend with ahead of the trip to the Energy Check County Ground.

Accrington are looking to round things off with a 30th win of the campaign.
