Bermudan international Osagi Bascome could start Saturday’s away game with Stockport.

Bascome arrived in this country on Tuesday after playing for Bermuda and sat on the bench on Tuesday night against Chester.

Quakers are short in midfield, as Omar Holness is suspended, and Joe Wheatley is injured.

Stockport are flying high in the league in second place, and they are head-to-head with Chorley for the title.

Saturday’s game will be covered live on Darlo Fans Radio, and the club’s official Twitter and website
