Grecians to assess Ribeiro fitness
Exeter will assess the fitness of Christian Ribeiro ahead of their clash with Cheltenham.
The right wing-back limped out of their 1-0 defeat at Stevenage last weekend with a knee injury and is a huge doubt to line-up against the Robins.
Paul Tisdale will be unable to call on David Noble, who has agreed to make his loan move from Oldham permanent in January but is unable to play for the Grecians again until 2015 after the expiration of his 93-day temporary deal.
The City boss could hand recalls to the likes of Graham Cummins, Tom Nichols and Arron Davies as they look to get back to winning ways.
Cheltenham boss Paul Buckle has no fresh injury worries as he does battle with his former club.
Buckle made over 200 appearances across three spells for the Grecians before a spell as assistant manager and then as a rival boss at Torquay and he heads to St James Park in search of his first win since replacing Mark Yates.
He was boosted by the return of Lee Vaughan from suspension last weekend against Portsmouth and the full-back looks set to keep his place in the starting line-up.
Omari Sterling-James, fresh from signing a new deal, looks likely to partner Terry Gornell.
