Lincoln City may have to move into the emergency loan market because of a goalkeeping crisis at Sincil Bank.

First-choice shot-stopper Alan Marriott is struggling with a hamstring injury while Ayden Duffy has a back problem.

Assistant boss Iffy Onuora told the Lincolnshire Echo: "We don't think Marriott is going to be involved on Saturday.

"Ayden has a back issue which he's had for a few weeks. He's not taken a full part in training as we want to avoid making it any worse. We've kept him ticking over, but he hasn't been involved in any contact stuff.

"I'd expect him to be OK for Saturday. As for Mazza, we'll monitor him over the next week. But if he's still struggling, we may use the emergency loan system."
