Scunthorpe v Walsall preview

Team news for Tuesday's League Two clash between Scunthorpe and Walsall at Glanford Park.

Scunthorpe manager Alan Knill is expected to name an unchanged side. Knill has no new injury or suspension worries and is unlikely to tinker with a side that secured back-to-back league wins for only the second time this season at Orient on Saturday. Club skipper Cliff Byrne (groin) and midfielder Damien Mozika (ankle) might have to wait a bit longer for their return to action after recovering from injury. Both were unused substitutes at the weekend. Recent signings Jon Parkin, David Mirfin and Jamie Reckford look set to continue and make their third successive appearances for the club. Midfielder Jimmy Ryan returned to full training following the recurrence of a long-term knee injury, but will not be included in the squad and another midfielder, Michael Collins (Achilles), plus strikers Connor Jennings (foot) and Matt Godden (hip) remain long-term absentees. Dean Smith must decide whether to recall Jonathan Macken or Jimmy Walker to Walsall's XI for a second crucial clash in four days at Scunthorpe. The pair both recovered from hamstring injuries to be named on the bench for Saturday's vital 2-0 victory over relegation rivals Wycombe. Striker Macken in particular is now pushing for a starting role at Glanford Park against another of the Saddlers' foes in the battle to avoid the drop, although goalkeeper Walker may have to make do with a place among the substitutes after David Grof's clean sheet. Smith could, however, opt to name an unchanged side after seeing Walsall clinch a first win in eight. Daryl Westlake again misses out with an ankle injury while fellow defender Manny Smith, who failed to make the matchday 16 at the weekend for footballing reasons, is available for selection despite facing a possible club punishment and FA charge for a homophobic remark made to a supporter on twitter.
