Ridley out for Robins; Quakers without Whelan
Cheltenham boss Mark Yates will be without Lee Ridley for the visit of bottom side Darlington.
Ridley, 28, last figured for the Robins on 28th December in the 2-0 win at Dagenham.
Four weeks on he continues to struggle with a calf injury and, although he is back in training, is expected to stay sidelined for at least another 10 days.
Fellow defender Ashley Eastham returns to the starting line-up having been suspended for last week's 4-1 defeat to league leaders Rochdale.
Winger Marley Watkins (ankle) isn't quite back to match fitness, while Shane Duff (Achilles) remains absent.
Quakers news
Darlington boss Steve Staunton will be without Noel Whelan for the trip to Whaddon Road.
Whelan, 35, has been plagued by injuries this term and hobbled off the pitch after just three minutes against Northampton with a recurrence of his hamstring injury.
Conference-bound Darlington have picked up just one win in eight games in a dismal campaign and will have it all to do against a Cheltenham side desperate to avoid a similar fortune.
The Quakers are 14 points adrift of their rivals heading into Saturday's game, for which Staunton has an otherwise fully-fit squad to choose from.
