David Blenkinsopp will not feature in the squad for the game tomorrow at Sheffield after failing to recover in time from the foot injury that has sidelined him for the last few weeks.

Manager Gary Norton commented: "David was at training last night and despite him reporting an improvement in his foot earlier in the week he is still not at the point where he could take an active part in training, let alone be considered to be involved in the squad.

"He's obviously very disappointed about it as he is desperate to play but we will have to see how he progresses during this week in the hope that he might feature in our remaining two games of the season".

Tom Groves returns after missing the last two league games but midfielder Lee Mellon (hamstring) will be subject to a fitness test before the game.

Carl Slater (groin) and Danny Blair (back) are still ruled out and full back Dan Douglas is struggling due to illness.

Both Jamie Hood and Shaun Ridgway have reported tight groins but should be fit for the game.

Gresley from: Clarke, Douglas, Hood, Chamberlain, Rowntree, Roberts, Hollis, Sleath, Ridgway, Saunders, Nadat, Marshall, Edwards, Woodall, Groves, Mawbey, Mellon, Blenkinsopp.
