Mark Ellis missing for Tranmere’s rearranged clash with Bury
Posted Monday, April 29, 2019 by PA
Tranmere prepare for their rearranged Sky Bet League Two clash with Bury still reeling from the news defender Mark Ellis is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
A waterlogged pitch at Prenton Park at the weekend meant the fixture was moved to Tuesday night, when Tranmere will be without centre-back Ellis, who limped out of the 1-0 defeat to Forest Green on Good Friday, with tests showing he has damaged cruciate knee ligaments.
Fellow defender Luke McCullough (knee) remains absent with a similar injury while forward Ishmael Miller (hamstring) will not play again this season despite returning to training earlier this month.
Tranmere are already assured of at least a play-off spot with two games left to play.
Bury lie second in the table and could clinch promotion on Tuesday.
Byron Moore is among those vying for a starting spot after coming off the bench in Monday’s 3-1 victory over Northampton.
Top scorer Nicky Maynard was on target last time out and is likely to lead the line again.
Bury will be hoping to end their three-match winless streak in away games.
