Gresley manager Wayne Thornhill could have two of his defenders back for today's clash at Owen Street this afternoon.
Mitch Hanson, who has missed the last three games due to a virus, is expected to be fit to play. Thornhill explained: "Mitch Hanson was extremely poorly, a bit out of nowhere, really, He had a virus earlier on in the year and unfortunately it's come back. I spoke to him last Friday and the Tividale game was a bit too soon for him to be involved."Fellow defender Matt Roome, who also missed the last three games but due to a nasty gash on his leg, is also expected to return. "Matt Roome's cut from a few games back got infected and he's had to miss out at Tividale when he was originally due back. He's having to manage that and it all depends on the doctor's advice."
Ryan King and Lucas Harrison who were suffering illness at Tividale have also recovered and should be fit for today's game.
The only slight doubt is Luke Edwards. Edwards was substituted at Barwell as a precaution due to a tight hamstring. "I don't want to rush Luke back especially with Kieran missing four games starting on New Year's Day," said Thornill.
