One in one out for Cumbrians

Carlisle defender Peter Murphy could return to the starting line-up against Chesterfield, but striker Lee Miller begins a three-game ban.

Murphy, who has been struggling with a back injury in recent weeks, returned to the substitutes' bench for last week's defeat at Hartlepool and could be ready to resume his partnership alongside Lubo Michalik at the heart of defence.

Manager Greg Abbott will be without influential forward Miller for three games after the club failed in their appeal against his straight red card last week.

Jordan Cook, a recent loan signing from Sunderland, and Paddy Madden are hoping to step up to the starting line-up in Miller's absence.

Midfielder Paul Thirlwell was forced off last week with a tight calf, but is expected to be in contention, but defender Matty Robson is not expected to return to training for at least another week.

Ben Parker, on loan from Leeds, is expected to continue at left-back after making his debut last week, while strikers Rory Loy (broken leg) and Craig Curran (knee) remain long-term absentees.
