Lincoln's Coubiș available for West Ham visit
Lincoln defender Andrei Coubiș is available for Wednesday's match against West Ham after returning to training, manager Tom Shaw told The Stacey West. That gives Lincoln an option at the back, though Shaw did not confirm he would start.
Shaw said Reeco Hackett was training while completing the final stage of his concussion protocol. Ethan Wheatley has an ankle problem and is touch and go for the match. Shaw expects Mason Melia to return to training in roughly a week to 10 days, but gave no match return date.
