Titus Bramble is likely to miss tonight's Worthington Cup second round fitst leg at the New Den with a hip injury. The 19-year-old received a shocking challenge on Saturday from Lee Bowyer and this looks likely to have caused the injury. John Scales will take over at the back. As expected Amir Karic will not start, although he seems likely to come on at some stage. George Burley said: "Amir has only trained for one morning with us and it is too early for him to begin a match."
Burley is likely to rest a number of up to now first choice players with Martijn Reuser and Gary Croft amongst the favourites to start. Full squad: R Wright, Salmon, Wilnis, Croft, Clapham, Karic, Holland, Magilton, Bramble, McGreal, Hreidarsson, Scales, Brown, J Wright, Reuser, Scowcroft, Johnson, Stewart and Mowbray.
