Leaders wait on duo's injury worry
Captain Morgan missed Saturday’s 5-1 win at Shrewsbury after damaging a hamstring in training, while Wabara pulled up lame at the beginning of the second half with a similar problem.
Both men will be scanned today, knowing anything resembling a tear could rule them out for the rest of the campaign.

“Reece felt his hamstring a little bit, and again it was more precautionary.
“We’d discussed changing it anyway at half-time, and that allowed us to do that.
“As you can see, the players who came in - Donervon (Daniels) and Barney (Leon Barnett) - showed fantastic professionalism, and showed they’re ready to do the job if and when called upon.”

“It was brilliant to be able to bring Michael on,” acknowledged Caldwell.
“We spoke about it on Friday, and to be able to put him on the bench and bring him on if we had the luxury.
“If the game was pretty much over it would be great to get him a few more minutes under his belt, to get his match minutes up.
“And it’s great for him that we were able to do that.

Hide Ad“We all saw his quality in the first half of the season, and what he brings to the team.
“Even today we saw flashes of what he can do, although he will be rusty for a while as he hasn’t had a lot of games this year.
“He’s still got a massive part to play in the run-in.”
