Injury Woes Improving

Looks like some of The Robins injury woes are coming to an end. Cheltenham have five players fighting for full fitness with three hoping to be fit for selection this weekend.

New striker Gary Bradshaw, who arrived with a groin strain, has only made one reserves appearance and is looking to get stuck into the action.

John Ward told the Gloucestershire Echo, ‘Gary knows exactly what the situation is and we will be very careful with his comeback and introduction to our team because he’s not been training at our level for some time. He wont’ be ready yet for 90 minutes, but I can use him as an impact player. It might take a bit of time to bed him in properly, but he’s a very committed young man, and very sensible.’

Steve Guinan strained some muscles in his back in last weeks reserves game at Cardiff. Michael Taylor took a small cut to the ankle in the same game. Both are hoping to shake their problems and be in contention for the match against Mansfield.

Ashley Vincent has a knee injury and John Finnigan has a shoulder problem and although they are making good progress, they are highly unlikely to feature this weekend.
