Riley boost for Robins

29 October 2010 11:30
Cheltenham manager Mark Yates must decide whether to throw returning centre-back Martin Riley back into the fold from the off at Accrington. Riley, who last played first-team football nine weeks ago due to a hamstring injury, managed just over an hour for Town`s reserves in midweek. His return could not have come at a better time with central defender Steve Elliott ruled out with a tight calf. Full-back Danny Andrew and midfielder Frankie Artus (both ankle) have recovered from the knocks they picked up in the goalless draw at home to Port Vale last weekend. Top scorer Wes Thomas (thigh) is expected to be back in full training in around a week`s time, with a view to returning to action in Cheltenham`s FA Cup clash against Morecambe on November 6. Captain Michael Pook is looking at around another three to four weeks on the sidelines with his calf injury.
