Midfielder Chris Lines was due to go for a scan on Monday to discover the extent of abdominal damage that kept him out of Saturday's goalless draw against the Saddlers. Lines will definitely not feature against Chris Hutchings' side, while full-back Aaron Lescott also remains sidelined with a hip injury. Central defender Danny Coles is an absentee once again due to a knee injury, so Steve Elliott, Dominic Blizzard and Mark Wright are set to retain their starting berths at the Memorial Stadium. Pirates boss Paul Trollope also has doubts over defenders Carl Regan (dead leg) and Jeff Hughes (groin), who sustained injuries at the weekend. Trollope will be looking to add to his squad with at least one loan signing when the window re-opens on Tuesday.
