Strife of Riley for Robins

28 February 2011 16:00
Cheltenham will be without defender Martin Riley when Stockport visit Whaddon Road. Riley came off with a hamstring injury in the 4-0 defeat at Stevenage on Saturday and has not recovered in time. Midfielder David Bird, who was playing at right-back at the weekend, also came off after suffering a knock but there is a chance he will be available. On-loan Blackpool defender Ashley Eastham will come into the squad, but fellow loanee Medy Elito is struggling with illness and the winger is rated as doubtful. Centre-back Andy Gallinagh came off the bench at the weekend for his first appearance since a double hernia operation and is in contention once again. Winger Josh Low also featured as a substitute on Saturday after recovering from a thigh problem and will be pushing for a starting role.
