Fleetwood friendly cancellation understood to be an issue at the home club's end rather than Carlisle's - Blues were keen for the game. "Unforeseen circumstances", F'wd have said. Unlikely #cufc will be able to arrange replacement fixture at short notice newsandstar.co.uk/sport/26400970…

❌Carlisle United's behind-closed-doors friendly at Fleetwood Town this Friday has been cancelled. Fleetwood have cited "unforeseen circumstances" for the move. It means the Blues' next pre-season game will now be at home to Salford next Tuesday #cufc @newsandstar (pic: PA)

Some website problems @newsandstar and wider Newsquest network means I'm unable to upload any new articles at moment. Rest assured have lots more articles/audio from last night's #cufc game ready to go. Frustrating, but will hopefully be resolved soon and then will catch up👾🤬

@karl72465 @newsandstar Wide right...very attacking even if started in full back/wing back area

@joncolman @newsandstar What position is he. Duru

🔵 Carlisle United look set to sign trialist Leo Duru, who impressed in the friendly at Darlington - while other trialists Jack Young and Kyle Hudlin are set to be given further time to impress. Latest ⤵️#cufc @newsandstar READ: newsandstar.co.uk/sport/26300276… newsandstar.co.uk/sport/26300276…

@skythelimit1970 @newsandstar RE said he suffered a gash that will probably need stitches, but nothing that was more serious. Added that it was the plan to sub him after 45 anyway.

@joncolman @newsandstar Thought Leo was the standout trialist of the lot. The Darlo fans I spoke to could not believe he was only a trialist. Overall, I liked what I saw — a lot of communication between players, especially from Bunker but it is early days. Any news on Breeze's injury?
