Nardiello to miss out for Shakers

Striker Daniel Nardiello will almost certainly miss Bury's home contest against winless Accrington.

The former Barnsley and Rotherham forward picked up a groin injury against Plymouth last time out, with manager David Flitcroft fearing it could keep him sidelined for a couple of weeks.

Full-back Craig Jones returned to training this week following a back problem but may have to wait a little longer before he sees first-team action.

Clive Platt is close to a return from his calf strain while goalkeeper Shwan Jalal (groin) is now considered fully-fit but appears to have lost his place to Rob Lainton.

Luke Simpson is back from his one-game suspension to given Accrington boss James Beattie a goalkeeping conundrum.

Jay Lynch started the 2-2 draw against Luton in Simpson's absence, while Joe Lumley has joined on a one-month loan from QPR.

Stanley had no game in midweek and that will have been beneficial to defender Michael Liddle, who has not played since the opening day of the season because of a knock.

Beattie's men picked up their first point of the season last time out and he may therefore be reluctant to make wholesale changes.
