Grubb could be involved as Forest Green host Yeovil

Posted Friday, February 15, 2019 by PA

Forest Green could have Dayle Grubb back on their bench for their Sky Bet League Two tie against Yeovil on Saturday.

Grubb has returned to training this week and manager Mark Cooper said the midfielder could return to the match squad after being out since the start of the year with a knee injury.

Cooper said goalkeeper James Montgomery has also returned to training this week ahead of the meeting with the Glovers, but may not be ready to feature.

Forest Green will be looking to bounce back after suffering two successive defeats for the first time this season in their promotion bid.

Yeovil will continue to be without suspended defender Thomas James for their match against the Rovers.

James received his second red card of the season against Cheltenham on February 5 and received a four match suspension.

However Craig Alcock will be available again for the Glovers after he was sent off for a second bookable offence against Grimsby and missed the Oldham tie.

Josh Grant (ankle), Omar Sowunmi (ankle) and Sessi D’Almeida (shoulder) are expected to remain sidelined through injury.
