Gareth Ainsworth provides a Shrewsbury Town squad fitness update ahead of Stockport clash

Salop head to Edgeley Park tomorrow evening to take on Stockport looking to bounce back after their gut-wrenching late defeat at The Valley on Saturday. 

Town looked like they were going to take a point back to Shropshire after a spirited and resilient performance in the capital. But Thierry Small's goal in the 96th minute saw Nathan Jones' side take the victory. 

The result leaves Town at the bottom of the League One table with 20 points from their 26 matches so far this campaign. 

Town still have plenty of time left to turn their sticky situation around and propel themselves up the third tier of English football. 

But to do that, they need to start winning. Since Ainsworth arrived in Shropshire, they have won three times and taken 12 points from the 11 matches they have played. 

They are still chasing that first victory on the road under the new boss. 

For the game against Stockport, Ainsworth has admitted Shrewsbury did not pick up any fresh injury concerns at the weekend. 

He also provided an update on the fitness of Aaron Pierre, who was not in the matchday 18 at Charlton, after suffering a hamstring injury in the game against Wrexham. 

"No injuries, just a few tired bodies," Ainsworth said. "Obviously, we had to make a few changes. A few of them came in and played.

"Toto came in and played his first game for a while. I think Funso was tiring, and he was on a booking as well.

"So everyone came through it, no injuries. Nobody has reported anything. 

"Hopefully, Aaron Pierre won't be too far away either."
