Lincoln City striker Mark Stallard will return to the squad after suspension for the visit of Stockport County on Saturday.The 33-year-old striker has completed a three-game ban following his dismissal at Rotherham last month and could take his place on the bench.

But caretaker-manager Iffy Onuora will still be without midfielder Lee Frecklington and defender Gary Croft.

Frecklington will miss his sixth successive match due to a troublesome ankle, while Croft (calf) has been sidelined since Boxing Day.

Onuora will also be without striker Lenell John-Lewis, who sustained a thigh injury in the recent defeat at Chesterfield, midfielder Ryan Amoo (knee) and defender Lee Ridley (hamstring).

Striker Gary King, included on the bench in midweek, is hoping to play some part and fellow youngster Martin Pembleton could also be included in Onuora's squad.
