TEAM NEWS

Cheltenham have a fully fit squad for a rearranged game that was abandoned after 68 minutes on 2 November because of a floodlight failure.

Top scorer Wes Thomas has recovered from a minor groin injury.

Southend United will be without suspended trio Peter Gilbert, Bilel Mohsni and Anthony Grant.

Mark Phillips (hernia surgery) is out and the game is likely to come too soon for Chris Barker (calf), but Barry Corr (back) is in contention.

Cheltenham Town boss Mark Yates told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:
"I've been down there, it's pretty firm. We have to prepare as if the game's on, we've got no niggles, no reported bumps and bruises from Saturday, no injury worries.

"We've just got to do what we can to make sure that we're in tip-top shape for the game.

"If it is called off, then we've got to deal with it and that is something we'll do, but we have to prepare as if the game is on."
