Worcester v Scunthorpe preview

admin

Scunthorpe will be without on-loan trio Liam O’Neil (West Brom), Luke Williams (Middlesbrough) and Richard Brindley (Rotherham).

Midfielders O’Neil and Williams, plus defender Brindley do not have permission to play in the competition and that could mean Isaiah Osbourne is back in the starting line-up.

Winger Terry Hawkridge may switch to right-back again in Brindley’s absence, while defenders David Mirfin, yet to appear this season following a knee injury, and Niall Canavan (shoulder) are both closing in on a return to action.

Striker Gary McSheffrey (broken nose/hamstring) and Jennison Myrie-Williams (hamstring) both missed the weekend win against Crewe but could return.

Worcester City boss Carl Heeley has an almost fully-fit squad to choose from for the FA Cup second round replay against Scunthorpe.

The Conference North side were granted a few extra days of rest this week after Saturday’s FA Trophy clash against FC Halifax was postponed.

Striker Daniel Nti, who scored in the 1-1 draw at Glanford Park, is expected to recover from a virus while defender Wayne Thomas (ankle) is a doubt.

The winners will host MK Dons or Chesterfield after their second-round tie was ordered to be replayed, with the latter guilty of fielding an ineligible player.
