Double Injury Worry

Jamie Forrester - suffered knee injury yesterday

Jason Price went off after suffering an ankle injury, while 79th minute substitute Jamie Forrester also suffered an ankle knock. The forward has been left out of this afternoon's reserve match at Stoke. However, there is positive news for Marc Joseph as he makes his return from a 2-month knee injury.

Meanwhile, there is also good news on Ben Burgess and Stuart Elliott. Burgess came through last night's game despite suffering a broken nose at Torquay, and Elliott looks like recovering from a knee injury to face Lincoln on Saturday.

Elsewhere, Shaun Smith made his debut for Carlisle yesterday, playing the full 90 minutes as Scunthorpe won 4-1 at Brunton Park. The left-back recently signed for Paul Simpson's team on a month-long loan.
