Exeter are waiting on the fitness of key man Jay Stansfield ahead of Friday’s clash with Wanderers at St James Park.
Stansfield was stretchered off during the 2-2 draw against Fleetwood over the weekend after seeming to get his studs caught in the turf.
Gary Caldwell’s side drew 2-2 against the Cod Army, with Pierce Sweeney scoring a dramatic equaliser in stoppage time.
The Grecians have now lost just one of their last seven matches and currently sit 11th in the League One table.
Speaking after the game, Caldwell told the club’s YouTube channel: “It looked awkward the way he went down.
“We don’t know to what extent he has hurt himself but it didn’t look great and he is in a bit of pain, but we will see how he is over the next 48 hours.
“He is phenomenal and keeps going, and everyone kept going today and gave everything for the cause. Fingers crossed it is not too bad, but we will assess it over the coming days.”
The 20-year-old has made 40 appearances for Exeter this season after joining on loan from Premier League side Fulham.
Caldwell added: “I’m delighted with the players’ character after a tough, long week. To come from behind twice to get a point tells you a lot about these players.
“We found a way to not be beaten. Pierce stayed on the pitch after not feeling his best in the first half, and it epitomised the way we all were.
“It’s a fair result. I don’t think we can defend the way we defended and expect to win a game of football.
“We’ve lost two poor goals, we looked loose. We need to be better and there’s always places to improve.
“Some of our build-up play was excellent but we weren’t as good as we have been in recent weeks in the final third.
“I felt like any long ball caused us problems. Too many times it caused us a lot of problems and it’s a difficult task when you give two goals away, but we found the answers.”
