Stevenage boss Alex Revell has issued injury updates ahead of Saturday's League Two clash with Morecambe at the Lamex.

Boro lost 1-0 to Exeter City on Tuesday and will be aiming to get back to winning ways at the weekend.

There were concerns over 21-year-old former Ipswich Tow youth Ross Marshall who limped off towards the end of the defeat to the Grecians.

However, Revell said: "He landed nastily and he said he was able to continue, he's a young player and he could've done himself more damage."

Revell also gave an update on other absentees, saying: "We're waiting on Scotty (Cuthbert), Prosser and Chris Lines to make sure they're ready to return, hopefully they'll be back over the next couple of days and they'll be ready to return on Saturday."

In the aftermath of the loss to Exeter, Boro boss Revell was disappointed by his side's lack of clinical edge, but pleased by the overall performance against a strong Exeter side.

When asked about the performance as a whole, Revell said "I think that we started the game really well, we were the biggest threat of the game.

"They grew into the game and once they'd scored a goal which was a really poor goal from our point of view, they held onto the lead very well.

"After that we became too frustrated in terms of our play at times, we just have to make sure that when something like that happens that we keep sticking to what we believe in.

"I don't think they did enough to win the game but the frustrating part is that we didn't do enough to win it really"

Boro's season has followed a similar pattern - creating plenty of chances but not converting these into goals.

The manager commented "All you can do is keep working and keep trying to create chances and turning them into goals.

"We scored two really good goals on Saturday. All you can do is keep getting people in positions to score goals and keep asking them to get in and hopefully when Noz (Luke Norris) gets one then he'll score 10 more.

When asked about his team's best formation and team line up, the former striker said, "The best selection is the ones with energy, good fitness and top quality. That's why we've signed players with different attributes.

"This year is so different to normal, the next six weeks we've got (games) Saturday and Tuesday, so we can't pick the same team every game.

"The energy that we ask to give will dip and injuries will happen so we just have to go game by game

"We've got to make sure that every player that goes on the pitch knows their roles and their jobs and that we get the results that we want."
