Jamie Forrester - unlucky with injuries
Making only his second start of the season in the 0-0 draw with Yeovil on Saturday, the striker was substituted three minutes from the end. X-rays showed he fractured his cheekbone, and an operation will now keep him out for 4-6 weeks.

Top scorer Danny Allsopp is currently struggling with a groin injury - hence Forrester's inclusion on Saturday - leaving Peter Taylor with few options to partner Ben Burgess in attack. Youngsters Danny Webb or Clayton Donaldson could be handed their chance in first team, while wingers Stuart Elliott and Jason Price are capable of playing a more advanced position.

Taylor has spoken of his reluctance to use the loan transfer market, but may be forced to until his senior strikers are back in action.
