Calderwood welcomes Lambe back from suspension

Posted Friday, December 27, 2019 by PA

Cambridge midfielder Reggie Lambe is available for Sunday’s clash with Morecambe after missing out on Boxing Day through suspension.

Lambe was banned for the 4-0 Sky Bet League Two defeat at Swindon following his red card in the 3-2 home defeat by Orient but is available once again.

Manager Colin Calderwood made six changes for the trip to the County Ground as Lambe, Kyle Knoyle – who dislocated his shoulder for the second time this season against Orient – Elliott Ward, Dan Jones, Samir Carruthers and Harvey Knibbs made way.

George Taft, Harry Darling, Liam O’Neil, Harrison Dunk, Jack Roles and George Maris got the nod against the Robins, but having seen his side trail 3-0 at half-time in each of their last two games, Calderwood has food for thought.

Morecambe defender Sam Lavelle is available for the first time since November 23 after completing a four-match ban.

Lavelle was sent off for the second time this season during a 5-0 defeat at Crewe and has been banned ever since.

Defender Ritchie Sutton returned as a late substitute against Oldham on Boxing Day after missing the 2-1 home victory over Newport as a result of his red card at Plymouth, and he will hope for a start.

Aaron Wildig and Lewis Alessandra, who were both withdrawn at half-time against the Welsh side, were both unused substitutes last time out as the men who replaced them, Kevin Ellison and Cole Stockton, took their place.
