Stevenage will be without midfielder Darren Murphy for the visit of Torquay after it was confirmed he had broken his leg in a reserve team game.
The 25-year old underwent surgery on a left lower fibula fracture and is unlikely to play again this season.
It is a cruel blow for the player who was just 30 minutes into his comeback from a dislocated shoulder suffered earlier in the season.
The only other player to miss out will be Chris Beardsley, who is still recovering from a dislocated shoulder.
Stacy Long will return after serving a one-match suspension and full-back Ronnie Henry will start in what will be his 250th appearance for the club.
