Tretton set for comeback?
Defender Andy Tretton is set to return for Hereford United's trip to Gravesend & Northfleet at Stonebridge Road on Saturday, kick off 3pm.
The former Shrewsbury Town defender has been suffering with a thigh injury but his slow recovery has taken five months. His return came in last Monday's reserve match, and Graham Turner told the Hereford Times: "Andy played for an hour and came through without any adverse reaction."
Otherwise, Hereford have a fit bill of health going into the game against Andy Ford's men, who lie sixteenth in the table but have won four of their last six matches.
Michael Rose is likely to continue at left-back, despite being the subject of a bid from Third Division Yeovil Town. "We received a written offer from Yeovil which was unacceptable," added Turner, after Yeovil boss Gary Johnson has refused to comment over the speculation.
Back to Saturday, and talking to the Gravesend Messenger, manager Andy Ford said: “Hereford is another massive game for us and should draw a big crowd. Only the league leaders Chester are in better form than us over the last six games, but we need to keep it going if we want to move up the table."
Skipper Steve McKimm and Francis Duku are available after suspension, but there is a doubt over Rob Haworth whose pregnant wife could go into labour over the weekend.
