Cook dealing with defensive crisis Accrington will be without suspended defender Aristote Nsiala when Oxford visit the Crown Ground and boss Paul Cook has a defensive crisis on his hands. On-loan Everton defender Nsiala picked up a second yellow card for dissent during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Dagenham, while centre-back partner Rob Kiernan suffered an ankle injury that could rule him out for the remainder of the season. Right-back Danny Coid (knee) and centre-half Dean Winnard (ankle) will also be assessed later this week and are feared to be long-term absentees. In midfield Ian Craney (ankle) is approaching full fitness following his latest substitute appearance at the weekend, although Bryan Hughes (hamstring) remains on the sidelines. Alan Burton is still out as he continues his recovery from a double hernia operation. Michael Duberry will not feature for Oxford. The experienced centre-back has picked up a minor groin injury which kept him out of the goalless draw at Cheltenham on Saturday. Duberry should recover in time for the game against Morecambe this weekend. Otherwise, manager Chris Wilder has no new injury or suspension worries but he will continue to be without a handful of first-teamers. Jon-Paul Pittman continues his recovery from a hamstring problem, Tony Capaldi is close to a comeback after a knee complaint and Tom Craddock (knee) is also on the mend, but none of the trio will take part against Stanley. Alfie Potter is out for the season with a broken ankle.
