ACCRINGTON Stanley have been dealt a blow after Fulham recalled loan goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli.

The Londoners have suffered an injury to Maarten Stekelenburg, and boss Rene Meulensteen has recalled Bettinelli as cover.

The 21-year-old, who is on the bench for today's Premier League game at Norwich City, has impressed as Stanley's regular keeper this season.

The Reds must now wait to see whether he will be able to return to the Store First Stadium in the New Year.

Andrew Dawber, 19, starts in goal for Stanley in this afternoon's home game against York City.
