Us duo ruled out
Colchester will be without Marc Tierney and Andy Bond for the visit of Yeovil.
Both players underwent hernia operations last week and have been ruled out for at least a fortnight.
The Us have extended Tom Williams' loan spell from Bristol City for a third month and he will deputise for Tierney at left-back, while Anthony Wordsworth could come in for Bond in midfield.
Magnus Okuonghae is facing up to two months on the sidelines with an ankle injury so Pat Baldwin keeps his place at centre-half.
Steven Gillespie (thigh) and Simon Hackney (back) are still struggling and long-term absentees John-Joe O'Toole and Morten Knudsen (both knee) have been pencilled in for returns in the new year.
