Matlock pre-match news (updated)
Gresley Rovers have injury worries ahead of the FA Trophy game at home to Unibond Division One high flyers Matlock Town.
Defender Andy Cheetham is only rated as 50/50 after limping out of the midweek Dr Martens Cup game against Shepshed Dynamo with an Achilles injury.Nathan Tate is sidelined for at least a month after dislocating a shoulder at work and Gary White has had a recurrence of the knee injury that had seen him out since the end of September.
Steve Lenagh is suffering from a back strain and fellow striker Shaun Harrad could be called up by Notts County.
Midfielder Liam Walshe is cup tied and so unavailable.
To try and cover manager Gary Norton is checking the availability of John Branch who is away at university in Durham and has called up Micky Lonergan into the squad.
Norton said: "Matlock must be favourites for this game and now we have so many injuries we are breaking point squad wise but what ever team we put out we will give it 110 percent."
Update: Shaun Harrad will be available for the Matlock game. Chairman Mark Evans confirmed the arrangement with Notts County.
