Cheltenham vs Swindon preview
Friday 26 April 2019 14:05, UK
Cheltenham have injury concerns ahead of their derby game with Swindon.
On-loan Chelsea youngster Jacob Maddox and Kevin Dawson both missed the Easter Monday trip to Morecambe after picking up knocks against Oldham on Good Friday.
The pair face fitness tests, as does Cameron Pring who was injured in the 4-0 defeat at Morecambe. Alex Addai is in contention to make his first appearance since the start of February, but Nigel Atangana (Achilles) and Tyrone Barnett (calf) are out.
Swindon have never won on six previous visits to Cheltenham and are all but out of the Sky Bet League Two play-off picture after losing to Crewe on Easter Monday. Robins boss Richie Wellens has an almost full squad to select from.
But on-loan defender Canice Carroll is struggling to shake off the ankle injury which has forced him to miss the last three games. Kaiyne Woolery and Marc Richards are vying for starting spots in attack as Swindon seek to register a first win in six games.
