Hatters welcome Robins to Edgeley Park
Stockport boss Jim Gannon will again be without Peter Thompson and Carl Baker for the visit of Cheltenham on Tuesday.
Northern Ireland striker Thompson remains sidelined due to a collapsed lung and is not expected to return for another five weeks.
Midfielder Baker had an exploratory operation on his troublesome ankle last week and is unlikely to feature again this season.
The surgeon has subsequently decided that a further operation, set to be performed later this month, will be needed to reconstruct the ankle.
The recovery time is expected to be around five months, meaning that Baker will probably not be fighting fit again until around July.
Gannon will also check on promising young defender Michael Raynes, who missed Saturday's 2-2 home draw with Millwall after picking up a knock.
Cheltenham team news
Cheltenham go into the encounter will doubts hanging over three unnamed players following Saturday's disappointing 3-2 defeat to local rivals Hereford.
Manager Martin Allen was giving little away ahead of the trip to Edgeley Park although the loss of defender Shane Duff to a back injury at the weekend suggests he may be one of those battling to be fit.
Striker Lloyd Owusu also suffered back problems during the defeat and midfielder Alex Russell picked up Achilles and lower hamstring injuries in the warm-up but did complete 90 minutes.
It remains to be seen whether Allen will be able to call on the services of Nicholas Bignall. The Reading forward played the final game of his loan spell against Hereford although Cheltenham may look to extend the deal.
However, Bignall could also be ruled out by an eye injury.
Defender Lee Ridley was also shown a straight red card against the Bulls to cap a miserable afternoon for the Robins, meaning he will now miss the next two games, starting against Stockport.
