Morecambe v Bristol R preview

Team news for Saturday's League Two clash between Morecambe and Bristol Rovers at the Globe Arena.

Morecambe will be without the suspended Alex Kenyon when Bristol Rovers travel to the Globe Arena. The 21-year-old midfielder was awarded his fifth yellow card of the season, which automatically triggers a one-match suspension, in the Shrimps' loss to Cheltenham last Saturday. Boss Jim Bentley may again be without Ryan Williams too, the young midfielder missing the Robins clash because of a hamstring injury, while Kevin Ellison's fractured eye socket keeps him out until January. Defender Chris McCready sat on the bench a week ago because of a sickness bug but he has overcome those symptoms now and will be vying for a spot in the starting XI. Bristol Rovers will be without defender Will Packwood at Morecambe on Saturday after he was recalled by Birmingham. The 20-year-old has been a crucial cog in John Ward's side since joining on loan but an injury to Blues left-back Mitch Hancox saw Lee Clark activate an instant recall clause. Packwood's departure means Tom Lockyer will play alongside captain Tom Parkes at Morecambe as Rovers look to continue a fine run of form which has seen them lose just one of their last nine games in all competitions. Chris Beardsley and John-Joe O'Toole return to contention having served their three-match bans.
