Swindon boss Wellens juggling injury worries
Posted Friday, March 01, 2019 by PA
Swindon boss Richie Wellens does not expect his side’s injury problems to ease ahead of the Sky Bet League Two visit of Colchester on Saturday.
Wellens is still without influential pair Matt Taylor and Michael Doughty, who are suffering from calf and hamstring injuries respectively.
Goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux is still ruled out with a shoulder problem while Olly Lancashire is nearing a return after a recent right leg problem.
One bright spot for Wellens is the return of midfielder Toumani Diagouraga, who was on the bench for last week’s draw with Grimsby and could push for a starting place.
Play-off hopefuls Colchester will check on midfielders Tom Lapslie and Harry Pell.
The duo are back in training following respective hamstring problems, but U’s boss John McGreal will not rush them into a first-team return.
Diaz Wright could again feature alongside Ben Stevenson should the midfield pair not be included in the squad.
Brandon Comley is expected to be sidelined for another couple of weeks as the midfielder continues his recovery from a knee problem.
