Lincoln City vs AFC Telford: Oliver completes ban

Lincoln striker Vadaine Oliver will serve the final part of a three-match ban and will miss the crucial relegation encounter with Telford.

Recent signing Craig Hobson has deputised for Oliver in the last couple of matches and could again lead the line against the Bucks.

Midfielder Jake Sheridan is pushing for a start after impressing as a substitute last time out, while defender Nat Brown is likely to continue at the heart of the Imps defence.

Lincoln have only won twice at Sincil Bank in the last 11 games and the club's board have issued a rallying call to the fans to turn out in their numbers for this game.

Lincoln are currently occupying the last relegation spot but have a game in hand on struggling Stockport, who are currently two points ahead of them.

Midfielder Luke Hubbins could return to the AFC Telford squad.

Hubbins has missed out recently due to a knee injury but has made good progress this week and will undergo a late fitness test.

Richard Davies will require an operation on his persistent ankle injury and is unlikely to feature, while fellow defender Dan Preston has also been struggling with a back problem.

Jay Smith is another absentee as he continues to recover from a knee injury which means recent signing Christian Smith is likely to retain his place in the heart of the Bucks midfield.

AFC Telford's winless run in the Blue Square Bet Premier now stands at 27 matches and they remain 11 points from safety with only six matches remaining.
