Scunthorpe are likely to be without defender Michael Raynes for a few weeks due to a thigh injury.

Iron boss Baraclough considering move into loan market

Scunthorpe United are likely to be without defender Michael Raynes for a few weeks due to a thigh injury. Raynes was forced off towards the end of the first half of Saturday's defeat at Derby County and now faces a spell on the sidelines. The former Stockport County centre-half has made 10 appearances in the Championship this season and manager Ian Baraclough confirmed the injury. "He pulled his thigh muscle so may be out for a few weeks," said Baraclough. Raynes is the latest defender to be ruled out for the Iron and Baraclough may dip into the loan market before Thursday's deadline. He added: "A fortnight ago I had four centre-backs to choose from and they were putting each other under pressure. Now I've just got one."
