Hulbert ruled out of Orient visit

Fri 28 Mar, 06:00 PM


Port Vale manager Lee Sinnott will be without the services of midfielder Robin Hulbert for the visit of Leyton Orient to Vale Park on Saturday.Hulbert is suffering with a trapped nerve in his shoulder and had to be replaced early on in Monday's 2-1 victory over Gillingham.

Vale swooped to sign Mitch Hanson on loan from Derby until the end of the season, but he is currently sidelined by a calf strain.

Sinnott's only other fitness concern is Danny Glover, who is struggling with an Achilles complaint.

Adam Eckersley lasted 80 minutes on his first-team comeback against the Gills following an ankle problem and should take his place against Martin Ling's men.

Shane Tudor will miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury, while Colin Miles (medial ligament) is also sidelined.

Rock-bottom Vale have picked up seven points from their last four games but could be relegated this weekend.
