O'Connor may return for Iron

Michael O'Connor could return to Scunthorpe's matchday squad for the first time since January for Saturday's home game against Leicester City. The Northern Ireland international suffered a knee injury but was able to return to training this week. A place in the starting XI is possible, but a place on the bench seems more likely. Josh Lillis will continue in goal as first-choice keeper Joe Murpy remains out with an ankle injury. Winger Garry Thompson is still absent with a groin injury, as is defender Cliff Byrne due to a back problem. Leicester are waiting on the fitness of defender Jeffrey Bruma, who is on loan from the Premier League side Chelsea. A groin strain kept him out of the Foxes' loss to Norwich on Tuesday night, but he might be available to return.
