Armand Gnanduillet eyeing Blackpool return ahead of Lincoln clash

Posted Friday, September 27, 2019 by PA

Armand Gnanduillet should be back in the Blackpool squad for their home clash with Lincoln.

The Seasiders’ leading scorer missed last weekend’s draw at Accrington due to a muscle injury but is back in training and boss Simon Grayson is hoping he will declare himself fit.

Grayson added: “We’ve got a couple of lads that have got some bumps and bruises from last Saturday. Some have missed training this week and some have joined back in later in the week.

“We’ll assess everybody at tea-time tomorrow (Friday) and see where we go.”

Michael Appleton faces the challenge of lifting a Lincoln side beaten 6-0 at home by Oxford in their last game.

He will make a late decision on defender Michael Bostwick, who has missed the last two matches with a muscle injury.

“From what I know of Michael, he doesn’t need much training between games and makes himself available where you think it’s not possible,” Appleton said. “But we’ll give it a late decision as we know his importance to the lads.”

Midfielder Jake Hesketh may also come into contention having yet to feature since joining the club on loan from Southampton.
