TWO players who have done damage to Oxford United in the past are missing from Shrewsbury Town’s line-up this afternoon with hamstring injuries.
Shaun Whalley, scorer of three goals in the last three meetings between the sides in Shropshire, and Conor McAleny, who sunk the U’s with a winner while at Fleetwood Town, are sidelined.

United have no new injury concerns, but expect to have Nathan Holland back in the squad after he missed last weekend’s win over Southend with a tight hamstring.
Head coach Karl Robinson said: “We’re in a good bill of health.
“We’ve got some wonderful players and in the last two games we haven’t had Nathan Holland, who I think is one of the best wingers you’re going to get.”
