Shrewsbury Town striker Fejiri Okenabirhie ruled out with hamstring injury

Boss Sam Ricketts revealed the striker is the latest to be added to Town’s lengthy injury list.

Okenabirhie netted his first goal of the season at Accrington Stanley last week.

The 23-year-old had a slight injury when coming from the bench against Burton last Saturday but then picked up the separate knock that sees him sidelined.

Shrewsbury's injury-ravaged squad has took one hit after another so far throughout pre-season and the early stages of the new campaign.

Ricketts added that midfielder Sean Goss's ankle injury is being assessed ahead of the trip to Suffolk. Josh Laurent and Dave Edwards are OK to feature.

Fellow midfielder Romain Vincelot, who has a neural injury affecting his hip and leg, could be back in contention for Town.

The Town boss did have a better update on key duo Ollie Norburn (knee) and Ro-Shaun Williams (hamstring).

Both have returned to light, non-contact training and could face a shot at being ready for the visit of Peterborough a week on Saturday.
