Tranmere quartet sidelined for season opener
Posted Thursday, August 01, 2019 by PA
Tranmere have a number of injury problems as they prepare for their first League One game against Rochdale.
The play-off winners will be without four players – Jake Caprice, Ishmael Miller, Corey Blackett-Taylor and Calum Woods.
Caprice will be sidelined for up to six weeks with an ankle injury, Miller has suffered another hamstring problem, Blackett-Taylor has a niggle while Woods is close to fitness but this weekend will come too soon.
Woods and Blackett-Taylor are two of eight new faces at Prenton Park, and boss Micky Mellon could throw several recruits into the action.
Rochdale are waiting on Aaron Wilbraham, who has been sidelined with a calf problem and is a major doubt.
Eoghan O’Connell and Ollie Rathbone, though, are fit again after struggling with injury during pre-season and come into contention.
Boss Brian Barry-Murphy must decide which of his summer signings to include.
Rekeil Pyke, Jimmy Ryan and Rhys Norrington-Davies were the outfield recruits while loanee Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez will hope to put pressure on Josh Lillis.
