Robins duo rated as doubtful

27 August 2010 14:00
Jeff Goulding and Martin Riley are both injury doubts ahead of Cheltenham's game with Burton. Striker Goulding was substituted in the first-half of the Robins' thrilling 6-4 defeat to Rotherham last week with a groin problem, while defender Riley missed the game with a minor hamstring tear. The duo are making good progress from their respective injuries, however, a late decision is likely to be taken over whether either player will be available to face the Brewers. Striker Theo Lewis has returned to training following his mild bout of glandular fever and could be included in the squad. Cheltenham beat Burton 6-5 last season and although the Abbey Business Stadium outfit were involved in another goalfest last week against Rotherham, manager Mark Yates is confident lightning will not strike for a third time. "We had a chat, we've worked on things and I'm confident that kind of thing won't happen again," Yates told the club's official website. "If things go against us, then we'll respond in a much better way."
