Fleetwood duo sidelined for Accrington clash
Posted Friday, August 23, 2019 by PA
Fleetwood manager Joey Barton will be without Conor McAleny and Jack Sowerby for the Lancashire derby with Accrington.
McAleny and Sowerby both picked up injuries in the 1-1 draw with Wycombe on Tuesday and striker McAleny (ankle) could be out for four weeks.
On-loan Rangers midfielder Jordan Rossiter is available again after a head injury suffered when McAleny accidentally headbutted him while celebrating his first goal of the season in the 3-2 defeat at Doncaster last Saturday.
Barton has a choice to make in goal between Matt Gilks and Alex Cairns after Gilks impressed on his debut against Wycombe, while forward Ched Evans could be in contention after playing for the development squad in midweek.
Accrington manager John Coleman could be without striker Courtney Baker-Richardson for the trip to Fleetwood.
Baker-Richardson picked up an unspecified injury during Tuesday’s loss to Shrewsbury and was forced off after 31 minutes.
The on-loan Swansea forward underwent a scan to assess the extent of the problem and Coleman is anxiously awaiting the results.
Defender Zaine Francis-Angol is available again after missing the Shrewsbury game through suspension.
