D'Ath Expected To Start In Place Of Mafuta Tomorrow

 

Lawson D'Ath is expected to start for Hereford at Alfreton tomorrow in place of Gus Mafuta who remains unfit.

"He felt his calf and we pulled him off in the Darlington game," said manager Aaron Downes.

"We rested him for the Saturday game, it was still a bit tight. Everything was pointing towards him being okay for Tuesday night (Chester).

"But he felt it in the warm up and we didn't want to take a risk.

"I can't see Gus playing tomorrow at Alfreton which is a loss.

"We're still assessing him, he was in last night at training, he's walking relatively pain-free but we've got to give him a little bit of time to get that fully right.

"The good news is Lawson came on and got some minutes on Tuesday night and he's fit and firing and ready to go.

"It's good to have his experience and quality in the group."
