GRIMSBY TOWN will be missing Tony Gallimore when they meet Arsenal in the next round of the Worthington Cup. Tony received his fifth booking of the season in Saturday's game against Sheffield Wednesday. His season so far has been impressive.

So much so that Manager Lawrence gave him the captains armband when Groves was dropped for two games. "I just hope the lads do well." Gallimore told the official website. "I think I'm suspended for that one. I found out yesterday that the Burnley game is on the Friday, and the Arsenal game is after that so it looks as though I'm sitting that one out!"

This will be a blow to Lawrence who is looking to field his strongest team against the Gunners but barring bad luck, a few of the injured players may be back in time to give Lawrence a chance to choose a replacement.
