Cambridge defender Greg Taylor has suffered a set-back in his recovery from hamstring problem ahead of the Sky Bet League Two match against managerless Cheltenham.

Centre-half Taylor has not featured since the opening game of the season against Port Vale, and no time frame has been set for his expected return.

Louis John could again start after coming into the side for the home defeat by Exeter on Tuesday night, while goalkeeper David Forde should be involved again after being given the all clear following a concussion.

Midfielder Paul Lewis (thigh) also continues his recovery and

Caretaker boss Russell Milton will take charge of the Cheltenham side after Gary Johnson was sacked following the draw with Macclesfield, which left the Robins winless from four league games.

Left-back Chris Hussey should be involved after coming off the bench during the second half on Tuesday night, having now served out a five-match ban.

Forward Manny Duku has recovered from a dislocated shoulder, so is another option.

Defender Sean Long continues his rehabilitation from an ankle problem.
