Injury concerns for Baraclough

14 January 2011 08:30
Scunthorpe boss Ian Baraclough has a number of injury worries ahead of his side's trip to Leeds. Midfielder Michael O'Connor injured his knee in training on Thursday morning and was on crutches afterwards, while Cliff Byrne and Rob Jones remain doubtful with back injuries. Defender David Mirfin and winger Garry Thompson are also struggling with knee and groin injuries respectively. Baraclough said of O'Connor's injury: "It was a training ground accident on Thursday morning and that just shows that when it's not going for you it's not going for you. "Hopefully it's not too serious and he'll be in the reckoning for Saturday. "The crutches were just there so he doesn't put any weight on the knee. He's still in contention."
