Port Vale duo Theo Robinson and Ajay Leitch-Smith expected to be fit

Theo Robinson and Ajay Leitch-Smith should be available for Port Vale's Sky Bet League One match against Colchester.

The duo both are both battling knocks but Valiants boss Page expects to be able to include the duo in his squad on Saturday.

Jak Alnwick is a doubt as he continues his recovery from a stomach muscle injury, which has ruled the goalkeeper out of the last three matches.

His continued absence would see Chris Neal continue in goal, while on-loan Ryan Inniss is hoping to feature after recovering from a hamstring complaint.

Colchester manager Kevin Keen must decide whether to change a winning team for the first time.

The U's beat Bradford 2-1 away on Tuesday night to end a club-record 19 league matches without victory.

Veteran midfielder Darren Ambrose should retain his place following a brace at Valley Parade, with Alex Gilbey having come off the bench following his return from suspension while on-loan West Ham centre-half Leo Chambers impressed again alongside Tom Eastman.

Defender Alex Wynter continues his recovery from a head injury and striker Marvin Sordell (ankle) remains sidelined.
