The 22-year-old stopper has found first-team opportunities hard to come by at Christie Park, but could be set for a second appearance of the season as manager Sammy McIlroy battles a minor goalkeeping crisis. Loanee Ben Smith has been denied permission to play by parent club Doncaster, while Barry Roche is rated as 50-50 with a knee injury. Ian Craney comes back into contention following a spell on the sidelines with flu, but Will Haining is still not ready to return from his hamstring injury. David Artell is doubtful with a hamstring problem of his own, while Wayne Curtis will hope to be involved after making his comeback from a back injury as a late substitute in last weekend's 3-1 win over Lincoln. Emmanuel Panther remains sidelined for the Shrimps with a broken toe.
