League One:

Francis Okoronkwo- Lincoln City- 5th out of 24

Okoronkwo appeared as a substitute in Lincoln’s shock FA Cup exit to Salford City last week.

Lincoln will be looking to bounce back away to Rotherham United next.

Martin Sherif- Rotherham United- 12th out of 24

Sherif featured twice in three days for The Millers, as the 19-year-old continues to step up his recovery from a hamstring injury.

Rotherham were knocked out of the cup to Swindon Town at the weekend, before stretching their unbeaten run in League One to five games on Tuesday with a stoppage-time equaliser against Burton Albion.

Sherif was brought on by Matt Hamshaw in both fixtures, and the striker will be hoping for a start versus Lincoln City on Saturday.

Tyler Onyango- Stockport County- 1st out of 24

Onyango played 75 minutes of Stockport’s 3-1 FA Cup triumph over Tranmere Rovers, with victory setting up a home tie with Cambridge United in the second round.

The Hatters have won five games on the spin, and host an out-of-sorts Luton Town next.

League Two:

Isaac Heath- Accrington Stanley- 21st out of 24

Heath played the entirety of Accrington’s cup scare at Gainsborough Trinity, as the non-league minnows took The Reds to extra-time.

John Doolan’s side eventually triumphed 2-1, with all eyes now on Saturday’s visit to high-flying Chesterfield.

National League North:

Fraser Barnsley/Odin Samuels Smith- Marine- 13th out of 24

Both loanees played in Marine’s agonising late draw at Chester, as The Seals equalised in stoppage-time to rob Bobby Grant’s side of all three points.

Samuels-Smith was carded on 38 minutes, whilst Barnsley was denied a second clean sheet of the season at the death.

Marine travel to Leamington next.

North West Counties:

Goodness Gospel-Eze- Burscough- 4th out of 24
