Three struggling for Dover

Dover's chances of securing an FA Cup upset over Morecambe have been hampered by the news they could be without a trio of players.

Skipper Craig Stone is definitely missing due to a broken ankle which may keep him on the treatment table for as long as three months.

Meanwhile, midfield pair Christian Nanetti (ankle) and Barry Cogan (hamstring) sustained problems during the week.

Mitch Walker (hand) is a long-term absentee, but Matt Lock could return.

Morecambe are facing a goalkeeping crisis, which could see them dip into the loan market before the trip.

The Shrimps are without first-choice shot-stopper Barry Roche (hip) for the entire season while Fleetwood loanee Scott Davies has not been granted permission to play.

Boss Jim Bentley had hoped to call upon Andreas Arestidou, who recovered from a stomach problem only to roll his ankle on his first training session back.

Midfielder Jamie Devitt remains out with a hamstring problem but Jack Redshaw has overcome illness and Andrew Wright is back in training after taking a pain-killing injection on his groin injury.
