Michael Boulding is set to make his Reds debut at the Racecourse ground against Wrexham tomorrow.
With Kevin Betsy suspended, Daniel Nardiello may move to the right wing or play just behind Mark Stallard and Boulding.
New midfield loan signings Aaron Davies and Craig Rocastle are likely to start on the bench.
Craig Ireland returns from a ban and Peter Handyside has recovered from flu, but Lee Crooks, Jacob Burns and Chris Lumsdon are definitely out.
Dean Gorre and Tony Gallimore are also not yet match fit.
