Madden expected to be in contention for Blackpool clash

Fleetwood striker Paddy Madden is expected to be fit for Saturday’s Sky Bet League One derby clash with Blackpool at Highbury Stadium.

Madden has had a tight hamstring and sat out the 1-0 loss at Peterborough on Tuesday.

Ryan Taylor and Ross Wallace have been nursing shoulder problems but are also set to be available, while Nathan Sheron can be called upon again after serving a one-match suspension.

Dean Marney (knee), who came off in the first half of the match at the ABAX Stadium, is unlikely to feature and James Wallace remains sidelined.

Blackpool’s Marc Bola will undergo a late fitness test ahead of the contest.

Bola missed Tuesday’s 1-0 victory over Scunthorpe at Bloomfield Road  because of a twisted ankle.

Jimmy Ryan (knee) is still out and it is not expected that Steve Davies, who is waiting for his first league involvement since returning to the club earlier this month, will feature this time.

Terry McPhillips’ Seasiders head into the match unbeaten in their last 11 league games.
