Loughborough Pre-Match News
Gresley face arguably their toughest test so far in their first season in the Midland Football Alliance as they face top-of-the-table Loughborough University this afternoon at the Moat Ground - 3pm.
Loughborough have dropped just two points, a nil-nil draw at Kirby Muxlowe, so far in their opening seven games and will provide Gresley manager Gary Norton with a good marker on how his side is measuring up in their new league.Norton welcomes back Carl Slater and Ashley Day into the squad alongside Royce Turville who missed Saturday's game at Highgate due to being at a friend's wedding. However, the striker will need a fitness test before the game on a calf injury he picked up against Tipton in midweek.
Also needing a fitness test is Gareth Langford who sustained a slight hamstring injury on Saturday. Definitely missing for today's match is Marc Goodfellow, who came on for the final 17 minutes of the Highgate game without any reaction to his recent injury, due to work commitments.
Barry Woolley and Jordi Gough are both out injured and Rob Spencer and Richard Butler are away.
