Forest Green to check on Dayle Grubb ahead of FA Cup replay

Forest Green manager Mark Cooper will check on Dayle Grubb before the FA Cup first-round replay against Oxford.

The midfielder missed Saturday’s league defeat to Morecambe with a hamstring injury.

Cooper bemoaned the display from his forwards at the weekend and Reuben Reid could face competition for his place in attack.

Rovers have not won in four games in all competitions, but victory against the U’s would set up a second-round meeting with League One side Plymouth.

Oxford boss Karl Robinson still has an injury-hit side.

Tony McMahon is the latest to be sidelined, with the cracked rib he suffered in the first tie with Rovers likely to keep him out for six weeks.

Luke Garbutt missed the Gillingham clash due to a hamstring injury, while Rob Hall (knee) and Shandon Baptiste (shoulder) are also sidelined.

But there is good news for Robinson as Jamie Mackie returns from suspension.
