Batt back for Oxford

18 February 2011 12:30
Oxford boss Chris Wilder will welcome back defender Damien Batt for the trip to Morecambe. The 26-year-old right-back has completed a three-match ban following his sending-off at Southend on February 1 and will return to the squad. However, Batt may have to be content with a place among the substitutes due to the impressive form of his stand-in, Ben Purkiss. The U`s have no other injury or suspension problems to contend with, although Wilder may be tempted to make changes to his starting line-up after lambasting his side following the 0-0 draw at Stevenage in midweek. Midfielder Josh Payne and winger Simon Hackney could both be at risk of losing their places, with Asa Hall and Steve MacLean pushing for recalls.
