Bakayogo missing once more

Tranmere will once again be without full-back Zoumana Bakayogo for the visit of npower League One promotion chasers Huddersfield.

Bakayogo has recently spent time on the sidelines with a knee injury, but his latest setback comes courtesy of an infection that has affected his leg.

"Zoom hasn't been in all of this week," manager Les Parry told Tranmere Player. "He's got an infection and one of his legs is really swollen. He can't put any weight on it."

Ryan Brunt should be in the squad after joining on loan from Stoke while goalkeeper Paul Rachubka is set to play the final game of his spell from Leeds, making the return to training of Owain Fon Williams (broken hand) all the more timely.

David Raven will be absent from the Rovers defence for a further six weeks. Having struggled with a hernia problem since November, the 26-year-old is due to undergo an operation next week.

Adam McGurk (hamstring) and Joss Labadie (foot) will be assessed ahead of the game, while forward duo Andy Robinson (knee) and Enoch Showunmi (leg) remain sidelined.
