Colchester United will check on the fitness of left-back Lewis Kinsella today after he limped out of their draw with Newport County with an ankle injury.

The former Aston Villa youngster suffered the injury making a challenge in the closing stages of the first half of the 0-0 draw with the Exiles, at the Weston Homes Community Stadium.

Colchester will also assess the condition of on-loan winger Tarique Fosu, who suffered a hamstring injury in the Newport game.

The U's already have an extensive list of injuries, with the likes of Tom Lapslie, Doug Loft and Matt Briggs all sidelined.

But there may be some good news on the horizon, with winger Brennan Dickenson set to return to full training this week following his hamstring injury.

Meanwhile, Colchester's under-23 side host Bolton Wanderers at Florence Park this afternoon, in Professional Development League Two (kick-off 1pm).
