Kwame Thomas out of Blackpool's clash with Fleetwood

Blackpool will be without Kwame Thomas for the derby clash with Fleetwood.

Thomas has returned to Derby before the end of his loan agreement and leaves Neil McDonald searching for alternatives as he tries to stop Blackpool's rot.

This comes after striker Andy Little limped off in last weekend's defeat at Southend and he remains out against rivals Fleetwood but the injury is not as bad as was feared and he is expected to return against Wigan.

Colin Doyle and Lloyd Jones are both still out with ankle injuries and Henry Cameron remains sidelined with a knee injury which could see him out for the majority of the season.

Fleetwood boss Steven Pressley will hope to name an unchanged side for the third successive game for his side's trip down the Fylde coast.

Pressley's men have hauled themselves clear of danger by following up a 5-1 thumping of Swindon with a 2-1 victory over Millwall in midweek.

One temptation for Pressley could be to hand a start to Bobby Grant who came off the bench to score their crucial second goal on Tuesday.

Pressley said: "We know the importance of this game to supporters - there's bragging rights at stake."
