Hone spent time on loan at Darlington in January

Lincoln manager Steve Tilson is hopeful that Danny Hone's shoulder injury is not serious.

The 21-year-old fell awkwardly in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat at Port Vale, but initial fears that he suffered a dislocation have proved unfounded.

Tilson told BBC Lincolnshire: "We'll have to wait and see, but hopefully he'll be alright."

The Imps are already without injured quartet Ashley Grimes, Delroy Facey, Stephen Hunt and Luke Howell.

Tilson added: "We are running out of bodies, and again key players are out. It's not fantastic but we've got to keep soldiering on."
