    Football - Rearguard concerns for Stanley

    Accrington manager Leam Richardson has problems in defence ahead of the npower League Two clash with Plymouth.

    Centre-back pairing Peter Murphy and Dean Winnard suffered injuries during the midweek FA Cup second-round replay defeat to Oxford and are rated as doubtful due to respective hip and head concerns.

    Both players spent Thursday under the watchful eye of Stanley's medical staff but if they fail to recover in time Aristote Nsiala is expected to revert from right-back to centre-half, while rookie defender Tom Eckersley could also come into contention.

    James Beattie is likely to continue in attack after the former England striker completed an hour on his return from injury on Tuesday night, while fellow forward Marcus Carver is available once more having been cup tied.
