Marvin Johnson could start for Harriers
Kidderminster Harriers striker Marvin Johnson could some straight back into the team for the trip to Bath City.
Kidderminster Harriers striker Marvin Johnson could some straight back into the team for the trip to Bath City.
Johnson missed Tuesday night's 1-0 defeat to Wrexham with an ankle injury, suffered in the first-half of the draw with Lincoln last Saturday.
That was his Blue Square Premier debut for Harriers but he was replaced by fellow debutant Ryan Rowe before sitting it out in midweek.
Anthony Malbon, the third striker signed in January, also made his first start in midweek but went off after just over an hour.
Now boss Steve Burr has dropped a clear hint that Johnson will get his place back at Twerton Park tomorrow.
Burr said: "Marvin made his debut against Lincoln last week and I thought he did very well.
"He picked up an injury and, as he is a young lad, it's going to take time for him to find his feet at this level.
"With that being said, I do think we missed him a bit against Wrexham.
"For us to be saying that with what he has shown us already shows how highly we rate him.
"You wouldn't normally be saying that about a young lad so quickly, but he has proved in this short space of time that he will be a real asset to us."
Former Aston Villa and England midfielder Lee Hendrie will sit out the game as a precaution, as he completes his return from a hamstring strain.
But right-back Mickey Demetriou is well on the way to recovering from a shoulder injury as he, like Hendrie, missed the Wrexham match.
