Ward waiting on Assoumani

07 March 2011 15:00
Stockport caretaker boss Peter Ward will check on the fitness of defender Mansour Assoumani ahead of the trip to Accrington. Assoumani is rated as doubtful after he picked up a knock and left the field in the closing stages of Saturday`s 2-1 home win over Oxford. His replacement, Greg Tansey, scored the winner in added time and could now earn a starting role should Assoumani fail to recover in time. Striker Ryan Doble is still suspended as he serves the final game of a three-match ban and defender Danny O'Donnell could miss out again due to injury. County remain bottom of the table but Saturday`s win breathed new life into their survival mission and left them just one point behind third-bottom Burton.
