Match Preview: Notts County vs. Morecambe, Tuesday 11 October 2016

Notts County captain Michael O'Connor is hoping to shake off a groin problem in time for the rescheduled home game against Morecambe.

The Northern Irishman missed Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Mansfield Town and will be assessed by boss John Sheridan, who has no new major injury worries.

Stanley Aborah could continue in midfield if O'Connor misses out again, while Adam Collin recovered from illness to play the full 90 minutes at the weekend and should resume in goal.

Midfielder Curtis Thompson remains sidelined with an ankle injury as Notts bid to climb back into the top seven following their setback at Field Mill.

Morecambe's Alex Kenyon will be sidelined for three months due to knee ligament damage.

The midfielder tore his medial ligament in last week's EFL Trophy win against Stoke City and will be out until after Christmas.

Defender Michael Rose will return to contention after missing Saturday's home defeat to Carlisle due to a one-game ban.

Midfielder Aaron Wildig and Dean Winnard remain doubtful after they too sustained injuries against Stoke and missed out at the weekend.
