LuaLua worry for Seasiders

Fri, 27 Jan 08:54:54 2012

Lomana LuaLua is Blackpool's only major injury doubt ahead of the FA Cup fourth-round tie with Sheffield Wednesday.

Former Newcastle forward LuaLua was ruled out of last weekend's win over Crystal Palace with the problem and will be assessed ahead of kick-off, although it is thought the forthcoming midweek npower Championship encounter with Coventry is a more realistic target.

With Tuesday's league game in mind and a near full-strength squad at his disposal, Seasiders boss Ian Holloway is expected to rotate his starting line-up.

Robert Harris and Liverpool loanee Danny Wilson came into the Tangerines defence for the 5-1 third-round victory over Fleetwood and could be in contention to start once more.

Midfielder Elliot Grandin remains in contention for selection despite ongoing talks with Nice over a return to French football.

Blackpool have already travelled to Hillsborough in the Carling Cup this season, where they were knocked out on penalties following a goalless draw.
