Defender Dave Artell is Morecambe's main fitness concern ahead of their match with Lincoln at Christie Park.

Artell has been suffering with a hamstring injury and boss Sammy McIlroy is concerned he will miss the game.

McIlroy told the club's official website: "Dave has been struggling with a hamstring injury for a while and we have been patching him up on a regular basis but it is troubleing him again and he may miss out on Saturday."

Forward Wayne Curtis could be pushing for a place in the starting line-up after coming on as a substitute in the 4-2 defeat to Northampton following a back injury.

Michael Twiss and Andy Parrish could also be in contention for starting roles after missing the Northampton game having been in a car accident.

Meanwhile Will Haining has intensified his training but will not be ready for this weekend, though he could be back for the FA Cup game at Carlisle on Saturday week.
