Yeovil striker Francois Zoko back from ban to face Forest Green

Posted Tuesday, April 24, 2018 by PA

Striker Francois Zoko is available after completing a four-match ban as Yeovil attempt to secure their English Football League status against Forest Green on Tuesday.

Zoko was sent off for the second time this season during the 3-0 home defeat by Luton on April 7 and the Glovers have collected just a single point from the 12 they have contested in his absence.

Defender Nathan Smith will hope for further action after playing 31 minutes as a substitute in Saturday’s 4-1 defeat at Notts County, his first taste of action since February because of a knee injury.

Artur Krysiak, Dan Alfei and James Bailey (all knee), Jake Gray (ankle) and Sam Surridge (hamstring) are still working their way back.

Like Yeovil, Forest Green need a point to secure their place in Sky Bet League Two for another season and manager Mark Cooper could name an unchanged team once again.

Cooper has been rewarded with 1-0 and 4-1 victories against Cheltenham and Chesterfield respectively in which he has started with the same 11 men.

Striker Christian Doidge, who scored the winner at Chesterfield, also struck twice against the Spireites at the weekend to take his tally for the season to 24.

Central defender Farrend Rawson has come through the last three games unscathed after returning from a hip injury.
