Alex Gorrin suspended for in-form Oxford

Oxford must do without midfielder Alex Gorrin through suspension for the Sky Bet League One match against Shrewsbury.

The Spaniard collected a fifth yellow card in the win at Southend, so must now serve a one-game ban as the in-form U’s return to league action.

Goalkeeper Simon Eastwood faces a couple of weeks out with a knee injury sustained during the 1-0 FA Cup win at Walsall, so Jack Stephens could deputise if more experienced cover cannot be brought in.

Midfielder Shannon Baptiste (groin) could be back in contention, while Jamie Hanson (hamstring) also continues his recovery.

Shrewsbury will have Oliver Norburn available for selection after a successful appeal against his red card in the FA Cup tie against Mansfield.

The midfielder would have been set for a three-match ban, but is free to play following the decision to uphold a claim of wrongful dismissal by an independent regulatory commission.

Ousmane Fane could be involved after the midfielder signed a free transfer deal until the end of the season and was on the bench for the midweek Leasing.com Trophy tie against Manchester City’s Under-21s.

Forward Shaun Whalley continues his recovery from a calf problem.
