Kidderminster Harriers will definitely be without Kyle Storer for the FA Cup replay at Corby - but the midfielder may not be sidelined for as long as the club feared.

Storer fractured his cheekbone in Saturday's goalless draw between the two teams at Aggborough but fought on to complete the full 90 minutes.

Harriers had braced themselves for the 24-year-old being sidelined for six to eight weeks but, after successful surgery yesterday, Storer's rehabilitation will begin sooner than expected.

Captain Mike Williams will also sit out tonight's trip as he recovers from hip and back problems, while right-back Lee Vaughan is also a doubt.

Vaughan picked up a dead leg in Saturday's game and has only managed light training since.

In the FA Youth Cup, Harriers will also welcome a Football League club to Aggborough if they can beat Brighouse at home in the first round tonight.

But it will be Carlisle rather than Sheffield Wednesday, after the Cumbrians' 4-1 home win over the Owls last night.
