Before their game this evening, Blackpool will examine Ollie Norburn, as stated on their official club website.
Tonight’s home match between Blackpool and Cheltenham Town marks the team’s return to League One competition. The last time they played, they drew 1-1 against Oxford United.
The 30-year-old Norburn switched to Bloomfield Road throughout the summer. Last Saturday at Kassam Stadium, he missed the game due to a neck issue.
He will be ‘examined’ before to the game against the Robins, according to the Seasiders’ website. Other team news includes the continued absence of Kyle Joseph, Jordan Gabriel, and Matty Virtue.
Blackpool injury latest
Norburn was a smart signing by Blackpool and has injected more experience into their ranks. He has played 12 times for Neil Critchley’s side so far this season.
He has made over 350 appearances in his career to date. The Bolton-born man has also made four caps for the Grenada national team.
Norburn has had spells at Leicester City, Bristol Rovers, Plymouth Argyle, Guiseley, Macclesfield Town, Tranmere Rovers and Shrewsbury Town.
He then had a two year stint at Peterborough United before his move to Blackpool but decided to cut ties with the Posh for a new challenge.
Critchley’s men are sat 7th in the table and are two points off the play-offs after their draw against Oxford.
The Tangerines were relegated from the Championship in the last campaign and are aiming to achieve an immediate promotion back from the third tier.
