The midweek injury to the wing-back happened against Cheltenham, and he will now be out for a same amount of time as Will Forrester.
More good news: after pulling up against the Robins, Kyle Dempsey has not sustained any major injuries. The Whites would have suffered if Dempsey had not been available, as George Thomason would have been suspended for the next two league games.
To help Ian Evatt’s team, Carlos Mendes Gomes has also returned from the African Cup of Nations after playing for Guinea-Bissau. Gethin Jones is still travelling with the Australian team, though, as the Socceroos have qualified for the knockout stages.
Both Dan Nlundulu and George Johnston have been out for a while due to hamstring and knee problems, respectively.

“It is my responsibility as a manager to prepare the players as best I can,” he continued. That is only possible with the data that we have.

“We will just have to cope with as best as we can and perform to the best of our ability.”
For example, we could review Carlisle’s previous fifteen games and strategize accordingly. However, if they drastically alter that on matchday, it is my responsibility to ensure that the players are aware of the solutions.
Have they arrived yet? Definitely not, but are things improving? Indeed, they are. In order to provide them with the best options and answers, we will keep working hard on the training pitch and striving for that improvement.
The fact that Carlisle has been busy in the transfer market for the past month may make it more difficult to estimate Brunton Park’s opposition for the Whites.
