Cambridge United head coach Mark Bonner has no fresh injury concerns ahead of trip to face Carlisle United

With a rare midweek without a game Cambridge United head coach Mark Bonner has had the luxury of a extra time to work with his players ahead of Saturday's trip up to Carlisle United (3pm).

Chris Beech's side currently lie right in the middle of the Sky Bet League Two table in 12th position but could move to within three points of the play-off zone with their two games in hand.

While the U's (2nd) will be looking to make it three wins on the bounce at Brunton Park, following Saturday's key win at home to Forest Green Rovers, Carlisle have lost their last two matches.

Bonner is reporting no fresh injury concerns ahead of the fixture with Harvey Knibbs back in contention, while he is again looking for his side to not let the pressure of their promotion push affect their free-flowing style.

With results going their way during the week, notably Forest Green being held to a goalless draw at Mansfield Town, United remain in second place and a point off leaders Cheltenham Town, who have played a game less than themselves.
