Only 17 players available for Saturday

With the departure, if only for a month, of Stacy Coldicott to Cambridge United and several players still unfit, Graham Turner will make various changes to the line-up for the Halifax Town game on Saturday.

Dean Beckwith, Adam Stansfield and Wayne Brown are all expected to return to the starting XI. Tony James could return to the bench.

Guy Ipoua and Jamie Pitman will both miss out. Simon Travis is a doubt.

"Simon Travis saw a specialist about his back problem on Monday and that has revealed a ligament strain. But he can join in training later this week and may be available," Turner told the Hereford Times.

"Jamie Pitman's scan has shown extensive ligament damage to his knee and he will be out for five or six weeks while Guy Ipoua is still doubtful with a calf injury."

The players thought to be available for selection are: Brown, Mkandawire, Beckwith, Jeannin, Carey-Bertram, Purdie, Ferrell, Nicolau, Williams, Stansfield, Mawson, James, Green, Stanley, Fleetwood, Taylor and Gwynne.
