Byrom boost for Boro
Joel Byrom could be in contention for Stevenage as they take on Gillingham on New Year's Day.
Byrom has been laid low for over four months thanks to a problem with one of his eyes and then his foot.
The 24-year-old was due to feature against Oxford on Boxing Day, but two successive postponements mean he has to wait for Saturday's trip to Kent.
Only a lack of match fitness may keep the midfielder out of the team, although extra days training may help his cause.
Defender Darius Charles begins a three-match ban for a red card picked up in his team's last outing, the 1-0 loss to Northampton three weeks ago.
Graham Westley will check on Darren Murphy (ankle) and Lee Boylan (calf), while Michael Bostwick returns from a ban.
