Anthony Grant banned before Port Vale play Bury
Port Vale will have to replace Anthony Grant in their starting line-up against Bury.
The midfielder picked up his 10th caution of the season in the Boxing Day loss at Coventry, meaning he will now serve a two-game suspension for Rob Page's Valiants.
Louis Dodds looks set to miss out again with a hamstring strain but Page may consider deploying two strikers anyway in Grant's absence.
Carl Dickinson returned from suspension to face the Sky Blues and could keep his place ahead of Adam Yates again.
Bury's clash with Barnsley was called off due to the weather, which might be good news for Tom Soares.
It gives the midfielder an extra couple of days' rest to recover from a groin strain that has been bothering him.
Joe Dodoo will come out of the Shakers' squad that was beaten by Southend on December 18 having returned to Leicester at the end of his loan deal.
Goalkeeper Rob Lainton (groin) will likely be on the bench again having returned to the squad earlier this month.
