Kidderminster Harriers will be without striker Lee Morris for the trip to Hayes & Yeading and the next two to three weeks with a thigh injury.

Morris limped out of Tuesday night's 1-1 draw at Forest Green in the second-half, just as he was starting to come into form after a fine goal in last Saturday's win over Barrow.

But manager Steve Burr has options to cover his absence tomorrow, with Jamille Matt and Nick Wright able to step in and form a strike partnership.

Alternatively, the Harriers boss could push top scorer Chris McPhee up front to support one of the two strikers, with Jack Byrne or Tom Shaw taking his place in midfield.

Defender Tom Sharpe could also return to the squad after two games out with a gash to his kneecap.

Morris aside, Harriers are in good shape to make the trip to London, to face a struggling side in the relegation places of the Blue Square Premier.

Burr's men, by contrast, are still chasing a play-off place despite being docked five points but the manager is not taking anything for granted tomorrow.

He said: "If you think you can go somewhere and only be at 75 per cent, that's when you won't get any points - we have got to be at maximum again.

"But, if we can continue the form we are showing at the minute, hopefully we can come away with three points and push towards those play-offs."
