Defensive doubts brewing

08 February 2010 13:38
Burton have injury concerns over defensive duo Richard Jackson and Paul Boertien for the trip to Cheltenham. Jackson and Boertien remain doubtful as they continue to battle against a calf problem and a dead leg respectively. Manager Paul Peschisolido will again be without the services of Darren Stride, who has yet to feature in 2010 due to a groin problem. The club captain has seen a specialist about the injury and the Brewers are now awaiting the results before they can assess the extent of the damage. Midfielder Michael Simpson is still struggling with a stress fracture in his foot and is at least three weeks away from a return. The Brewers are unbeaten in four league games following Saturday's 1-0 win over Port Vale.
