Cleveland Taylor will be added to the Burton squad for the clash with Shrewsbury. The winger has arrived at the Pirelli Stadium on loan from Brentford until the end of the season. Club captain Darren Stride, fellow defender Aaron Webster and midfielder Mark Goodfellow are injury concerns. Centre-half Stride is almost certain to miss out after suffering a recurrence of a long-running hamstring injury, so Guy Branston is likely to be recalled to the starting line-up. Full-back Webster is nursing an Achilles strain while Goodfellow, who is hoping to fight his way back into boss Paul Peschisolido's plans after returning from a loan spell at non-league Barrow, has a sore back and is struggling.

Suspended

Shrewsbury defender Dean Holden is suspended for the trip to Burton. Boss Paul Simpson will be forced into one change from the side which beat Chesterfield 1-0 after right-back Holden was sent off. Youngster Danny Taylor is a natural replacement having come on at Saltergate but Simpson also has options in Harry Hooman, Craig Disley and Paul Murray. Reserve keeper Andres Arestidou (hernia) and striker Jake Simpson (knee) are the only two currently in the treatment room. Mike Jackson took the decision to hang up his boots this week after a troublesome knee injury, while Glyn Garner also cancelled his contract by mutual consent after lengthy injury problems of his own.
