Henry Cartwright featured in Falkirk’s victory but Jayden Joseph picked up an injury for Tranmere
Action in Europe included both Bilal El Khannouss (Stuttgart) and Wout Faes (Monaco)

Christian Fuchs’ men are one point from safety ahead of tomorrow (Tuesday) night’s home encounter with Accrington Stanley (7:30pm kick-off).

Sammy Braybrooke also featured in the game, starting for the Spireites, who sit ninth in the fourth tier and head to Salford City’s Peninsula Stadium tomorrow (7:45pm kick-off).

Another 90 minutes in the tank for the young Foxes midfielder.

There was an early departure for Jayden Joseph during Tranmere Rovers’ 4-2 defeat to Cambridge United, playing the opening 20 minutes at Abbey Stadium before being forced off through injury.

Andy Crosby’s side, currently 17th in the League 2 table, head to Barnet’s Hive Stadium tomorrow evening for a 7:45pm kick-off.

Tom Wilson-Brown played throughout Swindon Town’s 2-1 reverse at league leaders Bromley Town. Currently inside the League 2 play-off places, the Robins will have an opportunity to respond against Notts County tomorrow night, a 7:45pm kick-off at Meadow Lane.

Since making the move to Morecambe this week, Chris Popov has made two appearances for the Enterprise National League side.

On as a second-half substitute during the 1-0 loss at Halifax Town on Wednesday, his first start came soon after, though the Shrimps lost 2-0 at home to Solihull Moors.

The Lancashire side remain in the relegation zone and head to Moss Lane, home of Altrincham, a week on Tuesday (7:45pm kick-off).

Up in Scotland, Henry Cartwright was introduced as a late substitute in Falkirk’s resounding 4-1 success over Hibernian at Falkirk Stadium, which maintains the Bairns’ position in the top half of the league table. Next up for the Scottish Premiership outfit is a trip to face Celtic on Sunday (3pm kick-off).

The Moroccan international has 12 goal contributions for Stuttgart in 21 matches across all competitions.

Across to Europe, Bilal El Khannouss returned from the Africa Cup of Nations to play the final 11 minutes of Stuttgart’s 3-0 triumph at Borussia Monchengladbach, moving up to fourth in the Bundesliga as a result.

Attention shifts back to the UEFA Europa League for Die Roten on Thursday, hosting BSC Young Boys at MHP Arena (8pm kick-off).

Wout Faes’ latest outing for Monaco ended prematurely, however, with the centre-back withdrawn 29 minutes into a goalless draw with Le Havre, following his debut against FC Lorient a week prior.

Monaco host Juventus in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday (8pm kick-off), prior to a Ligue 1 meeting with Rennes three days later, also at Stade Louis II (8:05pm kick-off).

Over in Italy, Woyo Coulibaly’s was an unused substitute in Sassuolo’s 1-0 home success over Cremonese in Serie A, with the Mali international’s next potential outing coming away at Pisa on Saturday (2pm kick-off).

And Will Alves also remained on the bench as Huddersfield Town earned a 1-0 home win over Bradford City in Sky Bet League 1. Sixth in the division, the Terriers welcome Luton Town to Accu Stadium on Tuesday (7:45pm kick-off).

All times GMT.
