Forest Green are sweating on top scorer Christian Doidge for the visit of Notts County.
Doidge, who has bagged 21 goals in 42 games this season, limped out of Tuesday night's 3-3 draw with Newport with an ankle injury. After the game boss Mark Cooper downplayed fears he would be ruled out for the weekend, but Rovers will see how he shows up in training.
Cooper has no other injury concerns as his side aim to continue their good run of form which has seen them take 11 points from their last five games.
Notts County are still without Ross Fitzsimmons. The goalkeeper escaped from a car crash on Monday unhurt, but he still did not travel with the squad for the 1-1 draw at Cheltenham on Tuesday.
And boss Kevin Nolan has confirmed Fitzsimmons will not be available at Forest Green. Nolan also revealed that his goalkeeper is the only absentee.
Forest Green have never beaten Notts County in two previous meetings in all competitions (D1 L1).
The Magpies equalised in the 96th minute in the reverse fixture, with Robert Milsom earning them a 1-1 draw.
Forest Green have gone five games without losing in League Two (W3 D2); they are yet to go six without defeat since joining the competition.
Notts County are winless in six away games in all competitions (D3 L3) and have won just two of their last 16 on their travels (D7 L7).
Forest Green, who came back from a 3-2 half-time deficit to draw 3-3 away at Newport in midweek, have recovered 17 points from losing position in League Two this season, the most of any side in the competition.
