Iron wait on Nolan

18 February 2011 11:00
Scunthorpe boss Ian Baraclough will assess defender Eddie Nolan ahead of the home clash with Derby. The full-back sustained a calf injury during Wednesday's 1-0 home win over Nottingham Forest and was replaced midway through the second half by Andrew Wright. Baraclough said his men picked up "one or two bruises" during the surprise success over Billy Davies' men and will assess the players concerned. The Iron are boosted by the return of on-loan Forest striker Joe Garner after he was ineligible to face parent club in midweek. However, Joe Murphy, Rob Jones, David Mirfin, Niall Canavan, Michael O'Connor, Garry Thompson and Cliff Byrne could all remain sidelined through injury. Midfielder Abdi Ibrahim's loan from Manchester City has been extended until the end of the season.
