Evans may need treatment as his hamstring pull again caused him problems in the
win at Scawby.
The Sunday side are suffering from a minor injury crisis but has a large squad so should not suffer too badly.
Keeper Robbie Virgin suffered a broken finger while playing in Power League and may be out for several weeks.
Right back Jamie Thurston has been suffering with a hip problem and having been forced off in two matches has now missed a further two games. He’s expected to return in the match at Scawby.
Left winger Lee Verrall has been out for several weeks with a fractured arm and is around three weeks from a return to training.
Right winger Chris While suffered a miniscule muscle tear during the defeat to Sawtry but could return for the Scawby trip.
Sean Evans was forced off with a hamstring pull in the thrashing of Pinchbeck but should be fine for the trip to Scawby.
In other news midfielder Matt Jane is training with the Under 18s in a bid to be signed on.
Winger/forward Matt Lincoln is expected to leave the team having become frustrated with manager Rob Jerram’s decision not to start him in every match.
Jerram said: “I’ve been a little disappointed by his attitude and form. He’s played far more than a lot of the squad but clearly he wants to play 90 minutes in every single match and I won’t guarantee any player that. Perhaps I’ve expected a little too much from him sometimes but I think he has great potential which he’s currently not reaching.
“I still need to speak to Matt but I think we will be de-registering him and I’m sure there’ll be another side happy to take him.”
The Under 18s are looking for sponsorship for a new kit and rain jackets. Manager Rob Jerram has a quote from Hereward Sports and anyone interested or who knows of anyone who may be prepared to sponsor the side should call him on 07894 283908.
