STEVENAGE TEAM NEWS

Stevenage manager Alex Revell has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the visit of Southend.

Revell’s men have taken five points from their last five games as they look to move out of the relegation zone in the Sky Bet League Two.

Luther James-Wildin returned from injury for the midweek clash with Walsall but two games in five days could be asking too much for the defender.

Revell made four changes for his side’s draw at Walsall, but could choose to keep rotating his squad with a heavy schedule.
