Gosport Borough vs Colchester United preview - Borough looking strong

Gosport Borough go into Sunday's FA Cup tie against Sky Bet League One Colchester with a near full-strength squad.

The Boro are featuring in the first round proper of the FA Cup for the first time in their 70-year history.

The 21-year-old striker completed a one-month loan deal from West Brom this week and has permission to play in the FA Cup.

Teenage midfielder Alex Gilbey returns to contention after missing last week's home defeat to Port Vale through suspension, but defender Elliott Hewitt has been recalled by parent club Ipswich.

Winger Drey Wright (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of the season, but boss Tony Humes has no major new injury or suspension problems.
