Cheltenham Town could have the likes of Ryan Jackson and Liam Sercombe back for the visit of Bolton Wanderers but could still be waiting for Elliot Bonds.
Wanderers make the journey down to Gloucestershire aiming to make it back to back wins in League One. They will be seeking to build on the 3-1 victory over Charlton Athletic last weekend.
The Whites are currently eighth in the table and just a point from the play-offs. Should Bolton win and results elsewhere go their way on Saturday, they could be back in the top six by 5pm.

Defender Jackson has not featured since the win against Exeter City in mid-August. Midfielder Sercombe meanwhile has not played since that game too.
Bonds has not played since the goalless draw versus Fleetwood Town. Robins boss Wade Elliott is optimistic about the likes of Jackson and Sercombe, but believes Bonds could require more work before he makes a return.
Speaking to GloucestershireLive, Elliott said: "Jacko will be on the grass Monday, if all goes to plan. Sercs has some sprinting to do then hopefully he can go on the grass.
"Bondsy should be on the grass towards the end of the week but he's been out a little bit longer so he might need a couple more graduated steps to get him ready.
"It's just chipping away at different things. We've been done with the same corner twice now. Portsmouth and Port Vale have both sent a centre-half up late, round the back.
"Because we change our personnel, James Olayinka might not be aware of that. You get another week to keep bedding stuff in, chipping away and trusting the process."
