Mark Cullen an injury doubt for Carlisle ahead of clash with Notts County

Mark Cullen is an injury concern for Carlisle ahead of their home game against Notts County.

The striker, on loan from Blackpool, was forced off with a groin injury during the first half of Saturday’s win over Swindon and he is being assessed.

Midfielder Jason Kennedy and defender Peter Grant are available again after recovering from their injuries.

Blues boss Steven Pressley has revealed that the knee injury Liam McCarron suffered last week will keep the teenager out for seven to eight weeks, meaning his season could be over.

Notts County boss Neal Ardley could make changes after the 4-1 defeat at Cheltenham.

The likes of Kane Hemmings, David Vaughan, Matt Tootle, Richard Duffy and Lewis Alessandra could all come into Ardley’s thinking.

Elliott Hewitt (knee), Alex Howes (thigh) and Andy Kellett (knee) are long-term absentees and unlikely to play again this season.

The Magpies are rooted to the bottom of the table and seven points adrift of safety with 10 games remaining to save their Football League status.
