Striker Deane Smalley, 20, has yet to feature this season due to a back problem and will missing for several weeks. Penney is already battling a long injury list which also includes Rob Purdie, Joe Jacobsen, Ryan Brooke and Jon Worthington. Midfielder Purdie is recovering from a stomach injury and defender Jacobson is currently troubled by a hernia. Both players are edging closer to full fitness but are unlikely to feature, while Brooke and Worthington are nursing knocks and also look set to miss out. Winger Chris Taylor has been suffering from a pelvic problem but is making steady progress in his recovery and could come into contention.
