Mike Whitlow is recuperating after undergoing surgery to repair the groin problem that has kept him out of action for the past six weeks.
The experienced defender, who has made just four appearances this season, faces another eight to 12 weeks on the sidelines. Paul Warhurst, whose only appearance came in the Worthington Cup tie at home to Macclesfield in August when he suffered a hamstring injury, is hoping to return to full-training next week.
