BURY face a goalkeeper crisis ahead of their first leg Worthington Cup match at Gigg Lane on tuesday when Notts County are the visitors.

Young keeper Pat Kenny made an impressive debut but took a fearful blow in the face and has since been hospitalised, receiving stitches and there is a fear that he may have a broken cheekbone.

Bury are desperately trying to bring someone with experience to Gigg Lane, but should they fail, then the bruised Kenny may well have to play.

Chris Billy is still sidelined and Paul Barnes is also out with ligament problems, but substitute Andy Preece had a big influence on Saturday's opening win and will surely start the game.

Preece and new signing Ian Lawson seemed to strike an immediate rapport whilst want-away French striker Laurent D'Jaffo will not be considered.

Manager Neil Warnock will want to retain as close to Saturday's starting line up as he is able.

Squad: Kenny, Woodward Collins Swailes, Daws, Reid, Bullock, James, Lawson, Preece, Littlejohn, Avdiu, Forrest, Redmond, Barrick, Challinor, Rocha, Messer.
