Courtney Baker-Richardson set for Stanley chance
Posted Monday, August 12, 2019 by PA
Accrington could hand striker Courtney Baker-Richardson a Carabao Cup debut at home to Sunderland.
Baker-Richardson completed a season-long loan deal from Swansea last week.
Accrington have had a 10-day break since their opening defeat at Lincoln as their weekend game with Bury was postponed amid the ongoing uncertainty around the Shakers’ future.
Summer signing Ben Barclay is free to make his debut after serving a suspension incurred at former club Notts County, but forward Offrande Zanzala (hamstring) is expected to be absent.
Sunderland boss Jack Ross plans to make several changes after the Black Cats opened their league campaign with successive 1-1 draws.
Club captain Grant Leadbitter, Turkish centre-back Alim Ozturk and midfielder Chris Maguire are all in line to make their first starts of the season.
Defender Jack Baldwin and midfielder Benji Kimpioka could also feature, while Max Power has been pencilled in for his first minutes of the season.
Forward Charlie Wyke (ankle) and winger Duncan Watmore (thigh) face late checks.
