Grimsby defender Olly Lancashire is suspended for the trip to Accrington in League Two on Monday after being sent off against Northampton.

The centre-half begins a three-match ban after he was shown his marching orders for violent conduct during the 2-1 home defeat on Friday.

But Mariners manager Neil Woods could have another defender back in contention for the League Two clash at the Crown Ground if Paul Linwood can recover from an ankle injury.

Forwards Ashley Chambers and Tommy Wright could also return to the squad after minor knocks ruled them out of the game against the Cobblers.

Woods could opt to shuffle his pack for a second game in four days. Adrian Forbes made his first appearance since the end of November as a substitute on Friday following a broken leg, while Nick Hegarty, Mark Hudson, Adam Proudlock, Jude Stirling and Robbie Stockdale provide further options.
