Salford face Stevenage in first ever League Two game

Salford begin life in the Football League with a home game against Stevenage.

City won promotion via the National League play-offs last season and manager Graham Alexander has added to his squad over the summer.

Richie Towell, Oscar Threlkeld, Dan Jones, Joey Jones, Kyle Letheren and Luke Armstrong are among the new signings hoping to make their debuts.

The likes of Matt Green, Devonte Redmond, Danny Livesey, Max Crocombe, Jack Redshaw and Amine Linganzi left the club over the summer.

Stevenage have a handful of injury issues to contend with ahead of their opening match.

Ben Nugent, Ben Kennedy and Paul Digby are all struggling for fitness and Boro boss Dino Maamria will make a late decision about their inclusion.

Maamria stopped short of naming names but he also has other players in the squad who are nursing minor knocks who will need to be monitored over the next 48 hours.

New signings Jason Cowley, Jamie Fielding, Chris Stokes, Charlie Carter, Paul Digby, Tyler Denton and Dean Parrett should all be in contention.
