COLNE boss Nigel Coates is sweating on the fitness of two key players ahead of tomorrow's home game with bottom-of-the table Formby.

Leading scorer Anthony Murt and instrumental midfielder Scott Gizon both limped out of action in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat against Trafford.

And with Chris Whittaker almost definitely out and Steve Cunningham suspended, Coates is down to the bare bones.

He said: "Anthony and Scott are both doubtful which is a real blow for us as we need our strongest possible squad."
