Cooper to bring in reinforcements as injuries hit Forest Green

Forest Green manager Mark Cooper knows he will have to dip into the transfer market to replace injured midfielder George Williams as he again has to do without the former Fulham player against Grimsby.

Cooper will be without injured duo Williams and Liam Sheppard and has admitted he could move to replace both before the transfer window closes on September 2. Farrend Rawson is also out after suffering a concussion.

However, Cooper has been impressed with the way Dom Bernard, Udoka Godwin-Malife and Liam Kitching have performed this season and they could feature against Grimsby.

Cooper will look to captain Joseph Mills to marshal his side as they aim to nullify the threat in the air of Grimsby target man James Hanson.

Grimsby manager Michael Jolley will be without striker Ahkeem Rose but will give centre-back Ludvig Ohman more time to recover from injury.

Rose should be ready to return to training next week so is likely to miss only one game.

Ohman has a head injury but Jolley revealed the defender had not suffered a concussion.

He will leave it as late as possible to see if the Swede is fit to face Forest Green.
