Michalik to miss Grecians clash

Carlisle central defender Lubo Michalik will miss his side's home clash with Exeter. The Slovakia international was forced out of Saturday's 1-0 win at Swindon due to a hamstring strain and replacement Danny Livesey is expected to make only his second league start of the season. Cumbrians manager Greg Abbott must decide whether to recall on-loan QPR defender Gary Borrowdale to his starting line-up after keeping faith with Matty Robson at left-back. Winger Robson has done an impressive job in the back four while standing in and Borrowdale started on the substitutes' bench on Saturday after missing the previous game through suspension. Abbot has no other new injury or suspension problems as his side look to make up further ground on the top six following back-to-back away victories.
