Sheffield Pre-match News
Gresley Rovers manager Gary Norton is looking to change things slightly for their visit to Sheffield in the first round of the UniBond League Cup.
Into midfield comes Paul Edwards who has recovered from a dislocated elbow and played for 90 minutes for the reserves against Oadby on Saturday.Morgan Hurley will probably be on the bench although not fully recovered from a hamstring problem as will Craig Hanson who has been impressive with the reserves.
Midfielder Carl Slater looks likely to start as he continues to build up his match fitness.
Recent signing Stefan Marshall will probably start alongside David Blenkinsopp as he too needs match time to get his fitness levels up.
Rovers will be without Oliver Hancock, who has a dislocated elbow picked up at Stocksbridge on Saturday, Tom Groves (thigh), Nicky Carter (groin), Andy Simpson (groin) and Tom Betteridge (ankle).
