Carlisle United boss Rob Elliot is anticipating a four-man fitness boost ahead of the Blues' National League opener this weekend. David Ajiboye, Gabe Breeze, Kenton Richardson, and Brad Nicholson are all on course to be fit for the Worthing game, the head coach said today.
What happened?
Carlisle have been hit by a number of pre-season injuries but their squad looks set to be bolstered by the quartet's return on Saturday. Ajiboye has been recovering from the back injury he suffered in last week's friendly against Salford City. That caused the wide man to miss last Saturday's game against Derby County Under-21s.
Why it matters for Carlisle
The return of the four players will be a significant boost for Carlisle United as they prepare to face Worthing in their National League opener. The team has been struggling with injuries in pre-season, but the expected return of Ajiboye, Breeze, Richardson, and Nicholson will give them a much-needed boost.
What comes next?
The team will be looking to build on the momentum gained from the return of the four players as they face Worthing in their National League opener. With the team's fitness levels expected to improve, they will be looking to put in a strong performance against their opponents.
Next fixture: vs Eastleigh (at home, 2027-02-20) (13th in the table).
