Ainsworth should be fit for Colchester

Hereford United manager Graham Turner has said that Lionel Ainsworth should be able to take part in Saturday's game at Colchester.

"I think Lionel should be fit, he's trained the early part of this week and he will be okay," said Turner.

Ainsworth has been suffering from a jarred knee.

Otherwise Bradley Hudson-Odoi has had a cold but should be available but all the long term injured players are still unavailable although Robbie Threlfall should start training again next week.

Turner is expected to give both new loan players Josh Gowling and Chris Weale a start. Gowling will come in the squad for Karl Broadhurst who misses the game as he has a one match ban for collecting five yellow cards. Weale is expected to get the nod over Craig Samson.
