Nardiello worry for Grecians

30 August 2010 12:00
Striker Daniel Nardiello is not expected to be fit for Exeter's Johnstone's Paint Trophy first round tie at Yeovil. The former Barnsley frontman missed Saturday's 3-0 defeat at Leyton Orient due to a groin strain and boss Paul Tisdale revealed is it "highly unlikely" he will face the Glovers. Skipper Matt Taylor is definitely ruled out once again as he is suffering with back spasms, but fellow defender Richard Duffy is available after serving a one-match ban. Marcus Stewart will play no part at Huish Park as he is still nursing a toe injury sustained in the Carling Cup defeat at his former club Ipswich. On a more positive note, Troy Archibald-Henville came off the bench against Orient after nine months on the sidelines with a knee problem and Ryan Harley came through 90 minutes after recovering from illness.
