York City vs Exeter City preview - Wilcox could ring changes

York boss Russ Wilcox could opt to make several changes for his side's home game against Exeter.

The Minstermen remain a point above the relegation zone following last week's 3-0 defeat at Northampton and with striker Jake Hyde serving the final game of his three-match ban, Wilcox must decide whether to include Diego De Girolamo in his starting line-up.

The Sheffield United forward rejoined the club on loan last week in time to start on the bench, with Wes Fletcher resuming up front.

Midfielder Luke Summerfield remains sidelined with a thigh injury as York chase a second league win in 10 matches.

Exeter have been handed a huge injury blow with the news David Noble will spend a few more weeks on the sidelines.

The Grecians have struggled without the influential midfielder, who aggravated a hamstring injury during a brief appearance against Portsmouth earlier this month, and Paul Tisdale will now have to manage without the former Oldham man for a few weeks.

But Tisdale expects to call on experienced duo Craig Woodman and Danny Butterfield against the Minstermen.

Woodman was forced off at half-time in their disappointing home defeat against bitter rivals Plymouth on Saturday with hamstring tightness while Butterfield missed that match with a minor injury, but the pair should return.
