Murphy back for Iron

01 April 2011 10:30
New Scunthorpe boss Alan Knill is boosted by the return of goalkeeper Joe Murphy but also has three fresh injury worries ahead of the trip to high-flying Norwich. Murphy is back in the Iron squad for the first time in three months after an ankle injury and will challenge Josh Lillis for the gloves. However, Lee Miller and Mark Duffy are nursing groin strains and Marcus Williams is troubled by a back problem, the same complaint that continues to sideline Cliff Byrne. In another blow, winger Garry Thompson has been ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing groin surgery this week. Tony Daws, who was placed in caretaker charge prior to Knill`s arrival, said: "He's working to recover and make sure that he's ready for next season."
