Cheltenham boss Michael Duff could be without Chris Hussey as they host Notts County at the Jonny-Rocks Stadium on Saturday.
Duff said he was unsure if the defender would be fit enough for the County game, after he missed the 1-1 draw against Bury on Tuesday.
Hussey was replaced by Cameron Pring in midweek and could retain his place, while Luke Varney could make a return to the side after being left out of Tuesday's game. Otherwise, Duff has a fully-fit squad to choose from as his side host bottom-of-the-table County.
Magpies boss Neal Ardley could be without striker Craig Mackail-Smith and a number of other players for the trip to Cheltenham. Mackail-Smith, on loan from Wycombe, has had an Achilles problem and will be assessed ahead of the trip to Gloucestershire.
Midfielder Elliott Hewitt is likely to be absent for a long time, after Ardley confirmed he would have to see a surgeon on a knee problem. Alex Howes (thigh) and Andy Kellet (knee) complete the long-term injury list.
Cheltenham are looking to record consecutive league wins over Notts County for the first time since April 2006.
Notts County have only lost one of their previous six away league games at Cheltenham (W3 D2) and are unbeaten on each of their last three visits.

Notts County have only won two of their last 18 away league games (D4 L12), including just one of their last 11 (D3 L7).
Jon Stead has been directly involved in five goals in four league appearances against Cheltenham for Notts County, scoring three and assisting two.
