Yeovil v Tranmere preview
Friday 19 October 2018 12:54, UK
Yeovil will be without midfielder Sessi D'Almeida through suspension for the visit of Tranmere.
D'Almeida, who has been captaining the side in recent weeks, must serve a one-match ban after collecting a fifth caution of the season. Defenders Shaun Donnellan and Enes Mahmutovic have both returned from international duty, along with midfielder Rhys Browne.
Omar Sowunmi has been sidelined by an ankle problem, while on-loan Norwich striker Diallang Jaiyesimi has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a serious knee injury.
Tranmere are chasing a fourth straight Sky Bet League Two victory, and will be back in action after the game at Cheltenham was postponed due to international call-ups. Rovers look set to again be without defender Zoumana Bakayogo, who has been sidelined by a hamstring problem.
Richard Sutton (knee) and fellow defender Liam Ridehalgh (leg) are both closing in on returns. Striker Cole Stockton, meanwhile, has not featured since the start of October because of an ongoing hernia problem.
