Shrews plan without pair

Shrewsbury will be without influential pair Shane Cansdell-Sherriff and Marvin Morgan for the short trip to local rivals Hereford.

Centre-back Cansdell-Sherriff has been ruled out for at least a month with suspected ligament damage to his shoulder sustained in last weekend's 2-1 victory over league leaders Southend.

The win was made all the more impressive after Town were forced to play over an hour with 10 men following the dismissal of Morgan for a challenge on Jean-Paul Kalala.

The Shrews striker now starts a three-match ban at Edgar Street, which also sees him miss the forthcoming games against Port Vale and Torquay.

Carl Regan is likely to step into defence for Cansdell-Sherriff, while Terry Cornell and Tom Bradshaw will compete to replace Morgan up front.

Midfielder Nicky Wroe will look to get more minutes under his belt, likely from the bench, having made an earlier-than-expected return from two broken metatarsals as an injury-time substitute last weekend.
