LINCOLN will check on the fitness of goalkeeper Josh Vickers (thigh), with Grant Smith poised to continue, while Shay McCartan is pushing for a recall.

Morecambe skipper Barry Roche (thigh) could return to the starting line-up, but defender Zak Mills (hernia) has been ruled. James Sinclair (ankle), Aaron Wildig (calf) and Andy Fleming (knee) are long-term absentees.
