Kane Crichlow and Dillon De Silva will both be unavailable for the visit of Boreham Wood due to international duty.
Crichlow is set to represent Bermuda in two Concacaf World Cup Qualifiers against Jamaica (Friday, 5th September) and Curaçao (Tuesday, 9th September), while De Silva’s Sri Lanka will clash with the Maldives in South Asia’s most thrilling derby on Saturday, 6th September and Tuesday, 9th September.
“We’re a couple of bodies down but everyone came through [the Carlisle match] okay” said Steve Morison. “The Wednesday fixtures mean you sort of lose a day at the end of the week to get ready for Saturday but you gain a day in the build-up so; everyone’s all good and we had a good training session today.”
Morison otherwise has his squad looking how it was prior to the Rochdale match, with all those who went down to a sickness bug ahead of the Carlisle game seeming to have shaken it.
The Head Coach had said prior to Saturday that David Aziaya, Ashley Nadesan, Lewis Simper and Aaron Jones, along with Crichlow, could all miss out on the win over the Cumbrians, although they all managed to make the squad in the end including a start for Nadesan.
Morison has had all his players available to train prior to the clash with the Wood, with the exception of the longer-term absences in Alex Kirk (back), Alex Woodyard (knee), Will Tizzard (knee) and Eduino Vaz (MCL).
“Yeah it seems everyone has got that out of their system now, they all managed to make the bench [on Saturday] and they gave us everything they had.
It was just one of those, it seemed everything happened at the same time and they came together and they pulled through at the weekend and everyone seems to be okay right now so, that’s great.”
Finally, Liam Vincent is set to serve the final game of his three-match suspension, having missed out on the defeat to Rochdale and the win over Carlisle after seeing red in the defeat to Scunthorpe United.
