Hill takes command of the Fleet

New manager Garry Hill will take charge of his first match when Ebbsfleet host Sky Bet League Two side Cheltenham in the FA Cup.

Former Woking and Dagenham boss Hill replaced Daryl McMahon at the helm of the Vanarama National League club, and met the squad for training on Thursday ahead of the first-round tie.

Midfielder Dean Rance has been sidelined by an ankle problem and remains doubtful.

Andy Drury went off with a suspected repeat of a calf injury during the second half of the 1-0 win over Barrow, so continues to be assessed.

Cheltenham manager Michael Duff revealed defender Sean Long has suffered a setback in his recovery from a long-term ankle injury.

Long had returned to action by playing for 45 minutes in a match against Arsenal Under-21s recently, but may now need minor surgery to help continue his rehabilitation.

Midfielder Sam Jones will serve out his three-match ban following a red card against Oldham last month.

Duff reported no other fresh major fitness concerns ahead of the trip to Stonebridge Road. Midfielder Kevin Dawson is still sidelined with a knee injury.
