Cumbrians boss waits on strike duo

The strikers missed Saturday's 2-0 defeat by Swindon in Leagye One with toe and leg injuries respectively and it remains to be seen whether they will be fit enough to be involved.[LNB]The Cumbrians will be without Lenny Pidgeley after the goalkeeper clashed with team-mate Richard Keogh's elbow in training on Friday and, after X-rays at Swindon Hospital, it emerged that he had broken a bone in his right hand.[LNB]Pidgeley is set to see a surgeon this week and could face four to six weeks on the sidelines, so second-year youngster Mark Gillespie is again likely to be named on the bench.[LNB]Abbott is thought to be looking to sign a goalkeeper as cover before March's deadline for emergency loan deals.[LNB]Long-term absentees David Raven (hip), Andy Cook (foot), and Gavin Rothery (double hernia) remain sidelined.[LNB][LNB]
