Howell out of Stanley clash

04 March 2011 13:00
Lincoln will be without Luke Howell when Accrington visit Sincil Bank. The midfielder faces up to three weeks on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury midway through the first half of the home victory over Oxford. Mustapha Carayol could be set for a rare start after replacing Howell on Tuesday night. "He was out for a while through injury and I spoke to him after the game in midweek because I still feel he needs to get fitter," said manager Steve Tilson. "He has got so much ability and if he is fully fit he can rip this league up. He just needs a bit of consistency and he needs to be a bit fitter." On-loan Arsenal full-back Gavin Hoyte has missed the last two matches with a knee injury and the club have confirmed the Arsenal youngster will now miss the remainder of the season. Midfielder Clark Keltie also remains sidelined due to a thigh strain.
