Andy Little adds to large Blackpool injury list ahead of visit of Scunthorpe

Andy Little will miss out for Blackpool against Scunthorpe at Bloomfield Road.

The forward has pulled his hamstring and, with his loan deal from rivals Preston due to expire at the end of this month, he looks set to have featured in his final game for the Seasiders.

Will Aimson will be able to feature again, though, after he completed a permanent move to Blackpool from Hull following a loan spell on the Fylde coast, the defender signing a two-and-a-half-year deal.

Jose Miguel Cubero is on the verge of returning to his native Costa Rica and will not be in the squad while Mark Cullen (hamstring), Martin Paterson (calf), Lloyd Jones (ankle) and Henry Cameron (knee) are all carrying injuries.

Scunthorpe's new signing Conor Townsend is hoping to make his first appearance for the club.

Townsend sat out last week's FA Cup defeat at Chelsea following his arrival from Grimsby but is expected to be included in Mark Robins' plans.

Robins, who has no new injury or suspension concerns, is otherwise likely to choose from an unchanged squad.

Forward Tom Hopper, hoping to get the go ahead this week to resume training following a dislocated shoulder that has sidelined him for four months, and Gary McSheffrey (knee) are still out.
