Skipper Colin Hoyle has a suspected broken foot, fellow defender Barry Woolley has a hamstring injury and is likely to miss the rest of the season.Russell Courtney has a shoulder injury that may require a scan to diagnose the problem, Dan Douglas pulled a thigh muscle in the warm-up at Colwyn Bay and is also a doubt.
Norton is hoping that Pat Bannister and Nick Hawkins have recovered sufficiently from their illness that kept them out of Saturday's game to play tonight.
Young keeper Tom Allan will be asked to play although carrying an injury as fellow keeper David Clarke is sidelined due to an Achilles injury.
Tom Betteridge who has recently recovered from a broken leg and a dislocated ankle could be called into the squad as he has successfully come through games with the reserves.
