The Senegalese midfielder has received international clearance from his country's FA, but was denied his Rebels debut in the midweek win at Frickley as the Home Office has declared his work permit does not apply to non-league football.
"He can play professional football, but they seem intent on depriving the lad a chance to play non-league football on a Saturday afternoon," says Marginson.
"I will be speaking to my MP, because I can't see who benefits from the situation."
FC face in-form Whitby Town away tomorrow, the Yorkshire side going eight games unbeaten since losing at Gigg Lane in August.
Marginson is set to stick with the side that won at Frickley, with Danny Warrender in midfield for injured Chris Baguley and Danny Williams up front. Tweet

Saturday Team News for the FC United v Whitby Town match. FC will be without Chris Baguley, Simon Carden, Rob Howarth and Jamie Baguley. Chirs Baguley is sidelined for 7-10 days with a Hamstring Strain, Carden and Howarth are unavaliable due to family and work commitments. Jamie Baguley will begin light training this week and should be ready in 3-4 weeks. "Whitby are in great form at the moment (recent wins against Guiseley and Bradford Park Avenue) we are going to have to play at our best to get anything from the game" said Margy "They make good fish and chips" he added. Whitby are currently only one point above FC in the league so far, but FC have a game-in-hand over them. Whitby have suffered a total of 5 league losses this season but have not been beaten yet in October. Other match going info below if you need it. Viva la Revolution, come on FC.
Its sad the lad cant get a game because the senagalese FA dont recognise pub team football.
If i bring my boots can i have a game please?.
So much for the "revolution"
Viva la pub team!
Update on Danny Williams, MEN Whitby Story. Quote "The conditions ruined the game as a spectacle, and the only incident of any note was the sad sight of young FC striker Danny Williams - one of the goal heroes in the midweek win at Frickley - being stretchered off with an injury."
An x-ray revealed he has a broken leg. There was too much swelling to put the leg in plaster on Saturday night so he will be going back to Hospital on Thursday. With Chris Baguley still out with an hamstring strain and his brother Jamie out for a month the injuries are mounting ahead of playing 3rd place Ilkeston Town at Gigg Lane on Wednesday night at 7:45pm. Viva la Revolution, come on FC.
Why don't they get the boy a job as a bartender at the local?? Good to see Malc and Kiwiblue back (no sorry Free Red, there really are 3 different people who dislike the FC hypocrisy).
If they open immigration to pub club footie, where would all the terrible players of English decent go? I thought one of the complaints FC Supporters had against PL footie was all the foreigners in the game? This thing died Christmas 2007, just like I predicted. If Stuart Brennan didn't keep writing articles about it, it would have died sooner.
