Midfield linchpin Paul Murray has been ruled out of Carlisle United's big home clash with Chesterfield tomorrow with a hamstring injury. Murray, 30, limped out of training last Thursday and did not make Saturday's trip to Leyton Orient with Neil McDonald's squad.
And the Blues manager today said the ex-England Under-21 star has not recovered in time for the visit of the Spireites to Brunton Park (kick-off 7.45pm). The injury though does not seem to be a reoccurence of the knee problem that has haunted the Carlisle-born enforcer of late.
