Injury doubts for Lincoln derby

On the bench

Midfielder Wayne Graves played a full 90 minutes for the reserves midweek, and will return to the matchday squad - but will have to settle for a place on the bench.

Steve Torpey and Nathan Stanton both have slight knocks, but are expected to be fit to take their places in the starting lineup.

Ian Kilford remains ruled out with a virus, while Lee Ridley has stepped up his return from a neck injury but is still a fortnight away from a return to the reserves.

The Imps make the short journey up the A15 at near full-strength, with just Simon Yeo ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Keith Alexander's side had a poor start to the season but have put together an eight match unbeaten run to rise up to 15th.
