Morecambe vs Cheltenham Town - Conlan out through suspension as Morecambe take on Cheltenham
Posted Friday, August 16, 2019 by PA
Morecambe will be missing Luke Conlan through suspension for the visit of Cheltenham following his midweek red card.
The defender was sent off just 22 minutes into Tuesday’s Carabao Cup clash with Mansfield following his challenge on Kellan Gordon and he now faces a three-match ban.
On-loan Manchester United teenager George Tanner made his first appearance for Morecambe in that match, which the 10-man Shrimps won on penalties, and he could make his league bow this weekend.
It remains to be seen when AJ Leitch-Smith will return. The striker has been sidelined since January with a hamstring injury but is on the comeback trail.
Cheltenham boss Michael Duff is hoping to have midfielders Ryan Broom and Max Sheaf available for the trip north.
Both played the full 90 minutes in last weekend’s 4-1 win over Scunthorpe but were omitted as a precaution for Tuesday’s Carabao Cup trip to Bristol Rovers, which the Robins lost 3-0.
Duff is also waiting on the fitness of Chris Hussey and Alex Addai, who came off at half-time against Rovers with a groin problem, but on-loan Pirates striker Gavin Reilly is available after sitting out against his parent club.
Injured defender Will Boyle is not expected to return until October while Rohan Ince is still absent as he continues to serve a five-match ban.
