Flynn to make Bulls bow, Dennehy set for Stanley debut
Ryan Flynn's debut for Hereford United is on hold, while Accrington Stanley should hand a bow to Billy Dennehy.
The Bulls took Flynn on loan from Liverpool on Thursday, but a thigh injury means the midfielder misses out.
Fellow Anfield loanee Robbie Threlfall should figure, though, and will play alongside Dean Beckwith in defence.
Striker Lionel Ainsworth, who bagged the only goal in the 1-0 defeat of League One Leeds in the FA Cup in midweek, will be absent after joining Championship side Watford on loan and may have made his final appearance in Hereford colours.
The Bulls will also once again be without Luke Webb and Karl Broadhurst who are still struggling to shake off injuries.
Defender Broadhurst is still suffering from the ankle injury that has ruled him out of action recently and Webb will be absent for a further two weeks due to his own ankle problem.
Accrington news
Loan signing Dennehy is likely to make his Accrington debut for the trip to Edgar Street.
The 20-year-old impressed in the midweek Lancashire Senior Cup win over Blackpool and has joined Stanley on loan until January from Sunderland.
Accrington boss John Coleman does not expect to have any fresh injury concerns ahead of the clash with the Bulls, with goalkeeper Kenny Arthur the sole absentee with a broken leg.
Sean Webb is also back in Stanley's plans after being on international duty with Northern Ireland.
