Rankine 50/50 For Welling Match


Bulls striker Michael Rankine is 50/50 to be fit for tomorrow's game with Welling.

Having missed Monday's trip to Alfreton with a knee problem picked up in the entertaining home win over Tamworth, Rankine is unlikely to be fully fit but may be able to play some part.

The Worcester News reports that Rob Purdie has a shin problem, with assistant boss Andy Porter telling the paper they are struggling to get players in: 

“We are spending a lot of time on the phone at the moment but it’s hard work. Clubs are not always keen to let players go out on loan during the first 10 matches just in case they get injuries, just like we have had here.”

New utility man Paul Green is expected to start in midfield tomorrow, with Kingsley James out for a couple more weeks and Josh O'Keefe unable to play with his arm in a cast.

The Bulls are understood to have an unnamed player lined up who is returning to the UK from a Turkish club, but the matter is being held up by international clearance with the Turkish club disputing monies owed to the player.
