Banned pair leave Shakers short

15 April 2011 13:00
Bury caretaker boss Richie Barker will be without defender Efe Sodje and midfielder Damien Mozika for the home clash with Barnet. The high-flying Shakers beat Burton 1-0 at Gigg Lane on Tuesday but ended the game with nine men following the dismissal of Mozika in the first half and Sodje in the second. Both men now begin three-match bans and Steven Schumacher and Ben Futcher are set to reclaim starting berths in their absence. Bury will again be without striker Andy Bishop, who has undergone surgery on his left knee and is not expected to return until pre-season training. Bishop's absence aside, the second-placed Shakers have no other injury worries as they look to take another step towards winning automatic promotion. They have won their last three matches to keep a degree of pressure on leaders Chesterfield, who have a seven-point advantage with five games left.
