Carlisle United duo Ethan Robson and Dylan McGeouch face spells on the sidelines, ruling them out of the start of the League Two season.

Robson, 28, will be absent for up to three months with a hamstring strain picked up in pre-season.

Similarly, fellow midfielder McGeouch, 31, will miss between two and four weeks because of a groin injury.

"These are blows that we'll have to deal with," Carlisle manager Paul Simpson told Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio Cumbria.

The Blues kick off their league season away to Gillingham on Saturday (15:00 BST).
