Martin misery for Stanley

Accrington Stanley manager John Coleman has bemoaned his side's misfortune after loan signing David Martin suffered an ankle injury after only five minutes of his debut for the League Two strugglers.

Coleman snapped up the Liverpool goalkeeper on loan only for the 21-year-old to sustain the problem in the early stages of the 2-2 draw with Lincoln City.

Martin will be sidelined for at least a month and Coleman said: "It must be a world record for making his debut without touching the ball.

"It's frustrating, but life has dealt us a lot of bad blows this season."

Martin made 25 first-team appearances for MK Dons before joining Liverpool just over a year ago.
