Jordan Rhodes: Blackpool striker will miss trip to Cheltenham Town as injury lay-off continues

Jordan Rhodes is due to spend the rest of the season on loan at Blackpool from Huddersfield Town
Blackpool striker Jordan Rhodes will miss the trip to Cheltenham Town on Tuesday as he continues his recovery from injury.
The 34-year-old has scored 15 goals for the club this season but has not found the net in his past eight appearances.
Rhodes was forced off at half-time during Blackpool's draw with Charlton and has missed three games since.
"There's progress but he won't be fit for tomorrow night," boss Neil Critchley told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"There's the usual sorts of bumps and bruises and knocks after our game on Saturday but there's nothing that would keep anyone out of the game against Cheltenham, so it will be as you were squad-wise."
With the club pushing for a play-off spot in League One, Critchley has urged his squad to be ready for selection as they face the end-of-season run-in.
"Something I relayed to the group was about everyone being ready because you never know when the opportunity might come," Critchley added.
"You might not be in the squad or thinking 'I'm on the sidelines' or 'I'm not part of things', then all of a sudden you'll be starting the next game.
"I said to the players I respect every single one of them, but I can only pick 11."
