Forest Green will be without Corey O’Keeffe for the League One home clash with Cheltenham on Saturday.

O’Keeffe is suspended following his sending off in last weekend’s 2-1 win over Cambridge for two bookable offences.

Fellow defender Dominic Bernard is available again after serving his own ban.

Matty Stevens has been nearing a comeback appearance after his long-term injury, recently returning to full contact training.

The all-Gloucestershire contest could see Dan Adshead back in Cheltenham’s matchday squad.

The midfielder was not involved for the 1-0 win at Charlton last Friday due to feeling under the weather.

Taylor Perry (hamstring), Will Ferry (back) and Grant Horton (calf) have been continuing their recoveries.

Wade Elliott’s side, on a five-match unbeaten run and looking for a third-straight win, are 16th in the table, eight points better off than Ian Burchnall’s Forest Green, who are three points adrift of safety in 21st.
