Taylor faces injury headache
Injury fear: Scott McGleish
Injury fear: Scott McGleish

WANDERERS are facing an injury headache ahead of their League Two opener against Morecambe tomorrow.

New signing Lewis Hunt has been ruled out with a groin problem, while last season's 26-goal top scorer Scott McGleish is also a major doubt for tomorrow's action with a hamstring strain.

Boss Peter Taylor said: "You feel like taking a chance because he's so important but if it means he plays and comes off at half time and is out for a month that is going to kill us more than him not playing on Saturday."

Teenage winger Matty Phillips will also miss the big kick off.

He failed to declare a thigh problem to the club on Saturday and promptly aggravated it during Saturday's 2-1 defeat at home to Southend United in their final pre-season friendly, having to come off at half time.

The club will also leave it late to decide on Mike Williamson. The centre half didn't manage any action against Southend after developing a knee problem and has also sat out some of the training this week.

Either Williamson or McGleish is expected to make it, with Taylor not due to make a decision until later today.
