Rainworth Miners Welfare Pre-Match News
Gresley are on the road tomorrow as they visit Rainworth Miners Welfare - 3pm.
Manager Wayne Thornhill will have an almost full squad to choose from with the only exception of Mitch Hanson, Sam Grice and John Guy.Hanson completes his three game suspension and defender Guy is around two weeks from returning to the squad after sustaining a knee injury back in September.
"John Guy is coming back and he trained with us on Saturday as well," said Thornhill. "He's started to train but he's still, I think, a couple of weeks away yet. He took part in a little five-a-side we had going but he's a few weeks away from coming back into the side.
"John coming back boosts the squad and it also gives Lucas (Harrison) some more competition at left-back. We know Chris Richards can play left-back, which is probably his best position, but it's not that easy to settle into a new defence at this level and we've been playing him further ahead. We'll look at getting John some time for the reserves soon."
There were slight doubts about Luke Edward (hamstring) and Martin Smyth (dead leg) but thet will be fit enough to make the squad, but Sam Grice (groin) may not.
"Luke and Martin both turned up for training last Saturday and are looking good, so we don't have any new injury worries heading into tomorrow's game," said the Gresley manager.
