Morecambe boss Sammy McIlroy will assess the fitness of striker Paul Mullin ahead of the trip to Lancashire rivals Accrington.The former Stanley frontman is recovering from a knee injury and McIlroy admits the game may come too soon for him.Mullin was a substitute in last week's home defeat against Chesterfield but is short of match practice and McIlroy harbours concerns over his fitness.The Shrimps boss, who has no other major worries, said: "I'm sure Paul will be itching to play but it may be just a week too early for him because he's short of games and match fitness."Morecambe have yet to beat Stanley since joining the Football League and face an in-form Accrington outfit with six wins in their last seven matches.
