Southend United boss Steve Tilson has doubts over three of his first team squad ahead of Saturday's match with Swindon Town.

Jean-Francois Christophe, Anthony Grant and Francis Laurent are all carrying knocks.

The trio didn't train on Thursday and Tilson will reassess their condition today ahead of tomorrow's game.

Meanwhile, Tilson will also be without midfielder Alan McCormack who will serve the first of a two match suspension.

McCormack picked up his tenth booking of the season against Millwall on Tuesday night and will now miss Saturday's match with Swindon and Blues trip to local rivals Colchester United.
