Cheltenham will be without young defender Harry Hooman for their trip to Morecambe.
The 21-year-old has undergone surgery on a damaged bone in his foot and a ligament at the base of a toe which is set to rule the former Shrewsbury man out for up for 12 weeks.
His absence leaves Mark Yates with just three recognised centre-backs in Alan Bennett, Steve Elliott and Keith Lowe but Hooman is the manager's only absentee as they look to move into the automatic promotion spots.
"Morecambe have a good home record," Yates told the club's official website.
"They make it a tough place to go to and it will be cold and could be windy or even be snowing and we've got to deal with it."
Meanwhile, Yates has confirmed that Swindon striker Paul Benson will not be coming to Whaddon Road.
