Morecambe v Bristol Rovers preview: Morecambe sweat on Wilson

Morecambe could again be without defender Laurence Wilson for the visit of Bristol Rovers.

Wilson limped out of last weekend's game against Oxford with a hamstring injury and looks set to sit out a second match.

Manager Jim Bentley is still without captain Peter Murphy (knee), injured on the first day of the season, and striker Jack Kelleher.

Goalkeeper Kieran O'Hara has returned to parent club Manchester United without playing a game, with Tony Thompson (finger) ready to return to the bench.

Rovers boss Darrell Clarke could stick with the same side which ended a five-game winless run at Hartlepool in midweek.

Clarke made five changes to the side which had lost 2-1 at home to Portsmouth last weekend and was rewarded with a handsome 3-0 victory in the north-east.

Skipper Mark McChrystal made his first appearance of the season at Victoria Park after suffering a knee injury in July and was joined by Lee Mansell, Jake Gosling, Billy Bodin and Matty Taylor.
