Tranmere hopeful Mark Ellis and Connor Jennings are fit for Swindon clash

Tranmere manager Micky Mellon will assess the fitness of defender Mark Ellis ahead of his side’s home tie with Swindon.

Ellis did not train on Thursday due to a stiff neck but will be given every chance to prove his fitness.

Connor Jennings will also hope to be available after the forward returned to training.

Jennings missed last week’s 3-1 win at Cheltenham due to injury.

Swindon manager Richie Wellens is optimistic that Ben House will be available for the trip to Tranmere.

House suffered a dead leg after coming on a second-half substitute in the victory at Macclesfield and missed last week’s home draw with Lincoln.

However, the on-loan Reading forward trained with the first-team squad on Thursday and is expected to be available.

Fellow loanee defender Ali Koiki, who made his Swindon debut from the bench against Lincoln, will be hoping for a place in the starting XI.
