SOUTHEND United striker Simeon Akinola is doubtful for Tuesday night's clash with Tranmere Rovers at Roots Hall.
Akinola went off with a back problem against Oldham Athletic on Saturday.
And Blues boss Mark Molesley feels it is unlikely Akinola will recover in time to play tomorrow.
"It’s a back issue and it went into spasm," said Molesley.
"He’s been seeing the right people to try and sort that out.
"Tomorrow will probably be a bit too soon but we will make a late call on him.
"Hopefully he will get that fixed and sorted and it’s just a short term problem.
"We’re doing everything we can to fix that again."
Akinola has scored two goals in 18 games for the Shrimpers this season.
