CHELTENHAM TEAM NEWS
Boss Michael Duff expects to have a similar squad at his disposal on Tuesday night.
Charlie Raglan returned to the side for Saturday’s 2-0 win at Scunthorpe after shaking off a freak back injury, while fellow defender Chris Hussey was able to retain his place despite nursing a dead leg.
Midfielder Liam Sercombe is back in training after recovering from a calf injury, but will not be risked until he is fully fit following an earlier setback.
However, Will Boyle, Alex Addai, Ellis Chapman and Chris Clements remain on the casualty list
