Tranmere v Brentford preview

Team news ahead of Saturday's League One clash between Tranmere and Brentford at Prenton Park

Tranmere boss Les Parry will assess the fitness of Ian Goodison and Andy Robinson ahead of the home fixture.

Defender Goodison came off the bench to score as Rovers threatened a late comeback in the 2-1 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday but aggravated a pre-existing hamstring injury, while Robinson has recently been laid low with food poisoning.

Parry told Tranmere Player: "Goody is hopefully going to train with us on Friday. I'm not quite sure about him to be honest.

"Andy was quite poorly for a couple of days and I think illness takes more out of players than injuries. He only trained for the first time on Thursday so we'll have to have a look at him and see how he is."

Midfielder Martin Devaney is another illness victim and will miss out following a bout of chickenpox.

Devaney is expected to be joined on the sidelines by striker Enoch Showunmi, who is continuing his recovery from a badly bruised leg.

Piero Mingoia could make his Brentford debut when they head to Tranmere.

The 20-year-old winger has joined the Bees on an initial month-long loan from Watford and will be added to the squad which travels to the Wirral.

Boss Uwe Rosler rotated his squad over new year so Shaleum Logan, Sam Saunders, Gary Alexander and Jake Bidwell are pushing for recalls after they dropped out of the starting line-up for the 2-0 defeat by leaders Charlton.

Left-back Bidwell's loan spell from Everton was due to expire after the match but he has agreed to stay in west London for another month.

Defender Karleigh Osborne (dead leg) will be checked over but club captain Kevin O'Connor (ankle) remains on the sidelines.
