Yates has not started a game since mid-September but could feature after Sam Stockley was forced to retire earlier this week.[LNB]The right wing-back, 32, has made 11 starts this season, including last weekend's 1-1 draw at League Two high-flyers Dagenham, but problems with his eyesight have meant he has had to make the difficult decision to hang up his boots.[LNB]Forward Lewis Haldane has been granted permission to play by parent club Bristol Rovers, just days after extending his loan stay at Vale Park.[LNB]Fellow midfielder Anthony Griffith is also available having missed last Saturday's draw at Victoria Road due to suspension.[LNB]Striker Geoff Horsfield (groin) remains sidelined while the game is likely to come too soon for midfielder Doug Loft (calf) despite his return to training. On-loan left-back Damien McCrory has also returned to Plymouth.[LNB][LNB] Port Vale 4/5, Draw 13/5, Stevenage 10/3
