Eastleigh vs Swindon - Ronnie Moore set to shuffle his defence

Manager Ronnie Moore faces a defensive crisis ahead of Eastleigh's FA Cup first-round tie against Swindon on Friday night.

Captain Ryan Cresswell and fellow defender Joe Partington are both suspended for the match, while Moore will wait on the fitness of Reda Johnson, who has been troubled by a hamstring complaint.

"For this game we are a little bit short, so we'll just have to wait, probably until the last minute until we decide what the back four is going to be," Moore said.

Striker Jamie Cureton is cup-tied while David Pipe is likely to come in for Partington at full-back as the National League club look to progress in front of the TV cameras.

Swindon head coach Luke Williams has had an injury boost ahead of the League One strugglers' trip to Ten Acres.

Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill and Tom Smith (both hip) are available for selection while Michael Doughty is not "fully-fit" but is expected to play some part.

Jordan Stewart (knee) and Jordan Young are both working on their fitness but will not be available as Williams does not want to push them back into games too early.

James Brophy is a doubt due to having tests on a tightness in the chest, Darnell Furlong is suspended and Jon Obika remains a long-term absentee.
