Norburn winning fitness battle for Shrewsbury
Posted Friday, November 30, 2018 by PA
Shrewsbury midfielder Ollie Norburn is expected to prove his fitness in time for the home FA Cup tie against Scunthorpe.
Norburn was forced out of the home midweek win against Plymouth due to a knock, but interim boss Danny Coyne is hoping to select from an unchanged squad.
Defender James Bolton replaced Josh Emmanuel in Tuesday night’s starting line-up and could retain his place.
Winger Simon Whalley is closing in on his return from a long-term calf injury but is still out.
Scunthorpe will be without suspended midfielder James Perch, who sits out a one-game ban after being sent off in the midweek defeat at Southend.
Boss Stuart McCall is hoping forward Andy Dales can recover in time after he was forced off with a groin problem at Roots Hall.
Defenders Matthew Lund and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson could both return to contention after scans on their respective foot injuries revealed no fractures.
Midfielder Funso Ojo and defender Lewis Butroid (both hamstring) appear certain to miss out.
