Bury v Exeter preview

Team news for Saturday afternoon's FA Cup clash between Bury and Exeter at Gigg Lane.

Bury boss Alan Knill will again be without goalkeeper Cameron Belford and striker Andy Bishop for the home clash with Exeter in the FA Cup first round. Belford will be sidelined for eight weeks after undergoing surgery to a smashed cheekbone on Wednesday, when a metal plate was inserted. Bishop has been struggling with tendonitis in recent weeks and has missed the last eight games. The Shakers have no other injury or suspension concerns as they bid to bounce back from Tuesday's 1-0 home defeat against Bradford. Knill said: "It was only our third defeat in 15 league games and I don't think there is too much to worry about." Exeter manager Paul Tisdale has concerns over a number of his players for the trip after a sickness bug swept through the Grecians squad. Tisdale had no choice but to name a weakened side in the 3-0 defeat to League One leaders Brighton after his players were struck down with a sickness and diarrhoea bug and will be hoping his players have fully recovered. Striker Jamie Cureton and defender Ryan Harley both missed the trip to the Withdean through the illness and may recover in time. Richard Logan and Richard Duffy were named on the bench despite feeling fragile and will be monitored ahead of Saturday's game while striker Daniel Nardiello could be handed a starting-place after recovering from a hamstring injury. Matt Taylor is still unavailable and goalkeeper Artur Krysiak will retain his place between the sticks with Paul Jones once again occupying the bench.
