As previously reported, Glen Southam's broken hand has put him out of contention for the Bulls' trip to Rochdale tomorrow.
He will be joined on the sidelines by Craig Jones and Jonny Godsmark. Godsmark has now been sidelined for four weeks of the reported six weeks for his hand injury. Darren Dennehy, who played an hour of the practice match with Wolves in the week, is back in contention.
Up front both Lee Morris and Leon Constantine are reported by the official site to have groin problems, and with the Bristol City pair of Marlon Jackson and Tristan Plummer ending their loans, there is likely to be a debut for either Southend striker James Walker or Frenchman Mathieu Manset from the start. Manset played 70 minutes in the Wolves match in which Edrissa Sonko played the full match. He will also be pushing for a debut after being an unused sub last weekend.
Rochdale have no new injury concerns from the squad that won at Northampton last weekend and will have a virtually full squad to choose from. Loan winger Simon Whaley will be looking for a first start after impressing as a sub during that game, while long term injury victim Rory McArdle is not yet match fit and is unlikely to be considered. Strikers Chris O'Grady and Chris Dagnall have shrugged off injuries that threatened their appearance last weekend.
