Daniel Johnson is fit again and could feature. Ryan Ledson, Paul Huntington and Paul Gallagher are all eyeing first starts of the season.
Billy Bodin (knee) is out for six months, Sean Maguire (hamstring) is out and Daryl Horgan has left the club for Hibernian.
Morecambe are crossing their fingers for an upturn after starting the season with eight goals conceded and none scored.
That leaves them bottom of the English Football League, with manager Jim Bentley due to assess the options in his squad.
Recent signings AJ Leitch-Smith and Jason Oswell could be handed their first starts after appearing as substitutes .
Luke Conlan and Lamin Jagne may also be summoned from bench duty as Bentley seeks an upset to kick-start the campaign. Defender Sam Lavelle is out for several weeks with a leg injury.
