Defensive doubts brewing

Burton have injury concerns over defensive duo Richard Jackson and Paul Boertien for the trip to Cheltenham. Jackson and Boertien remain doubtful as they continue to battle against a calf problem and a dead leg respectively. Manager Paul Peschisolido will again be without the services of Darren Stride, who has yet to feature in 2010 due to a groin problem. The club captain has seen a specialist about the injury and the Brewers are now awaiting the results before they can assess the extent of the damage. Midfielder Michael Simpson is still struggling with a stress fracture in his foot and is at least three weeks away from a return. The Brewers are unbeaten in four league games following Saturday's 1-0 win over Port Vale.
