Hereford manager Paul Caddis has given an update on players absent from Saturday's 2-0 win at Peterborough - namely midfielder Lawson D'Ath, striker Remaye Campbell and defender Matt Preston.
The Bulls were able to end their seven-game winless run in National League North with a 2–0 victory at Peterborough, their first league clean sheet since August thanks to goals from Gus Mafuta and I-Lani Edwards.
Ahead of Tuesday's match against Scarborough, a team Caddis has seen in action recently having watched them when Hereford had a match postponed, the gaffer is mulling making changes.
Speaking to BBC Hereford and Worcester on Saturday, Caddis said Preston was absent due to a "poisoned toe" which flared up after the 1-1 draw at Chester.
The former Harriers defender initially avoided having it drilled before the postponed Marine fixture, but alternative treatment hasn’t solved the issue.
The procedure will now go ahead, making Preston a doubt for Tuesday’s long trip to Bridlington to play Scarborough - with Caddis noting "everywhere's long distance for Hereford".
"That's what you've got a squad for," Caddis said, as Keenan Quansah ably filled in. "That's what you bring people in for."
Meanwhile, Lawson D'Ath was suspended after picking up five yellow cards but will be available on Tuesday.
When asked by Bulls News for an update on Remaye Campbell, Caddis briefly forgot the former Notts County youngster. With the gaffe laughed off, Caddis said the 25-year-old is "still limping a little bit" and might be a couple of weeks away from returning.
Last month, Campbell sustained ankle ligament damage while playing with pupils at the school where he works.

"With a lack of training, it's difficult," Caddis added on Saturday. "We've had a little bit of training there, but we'll get him back in probably the next time we'll see him is next Thursday and we'll assess him then."
Caddis's side has been bolstered with the return of 23-year-old winger Jaiden White, on loan from Sutton United, who he left Edgar Street for in the summer.

He is yet to make a start, and when asked how close he is to being named in the starting XI, Caddis said: "He's a patient lad. He understands we've now picked up four points in the last two games. But he comes on, his attitude is excellent.
"Will he be starting Tuesday? He's definitely in my thoughts. Will we make changes? Possibly because of the quick turnover and the different team we're playing against.
"I didn't bring him back into the club to set him on the bench. However, sometimes that happens and depending on how your team are doing."
