Stafford Rangers can call upon trio

Stafford Rangers could call three defenders back into the squad for their game against North Ferriby United at Marston Road.

Luke George is back from a one-match suspension for tomorrow's Evo-Stik Northern Premier League clash, while Ryan Dicker and captain Paul Donnelly are close to a return.

Dicker has had the cast on his right hand, which was broken in two places, removed while Donnelly has been sidelined with a hamstring injury.

After a month out of action, Dicker and Donnelly are only set to be in the squad although George could be pitched straight back into the team.

George and Joe Rogers, who can both play in either position, will occupy the right-back and centre-half roles alongside stand-in captain Karl Espley, who is set to keep the armband.

Fabrice Kasiama will also be in the squad after rejoining the club for a second spell and boss Greg Clowes has not given up hope of signing Jon Patrick, another former Rangers player, before kick-off.
