Scott Wharton, Vadaine Oliver and Ryan Watson are all available for tomorrow's game at Cheltenham Town after recovering from various knocks.

Wharton sat out Saturday's win over Exeter City as a precaution while Watson struggled with blurred vision and had to come off after an hour.

Oliver also seemed to be hampered by a leg problem prior to his substitution, however all three look set to feature at Whaddon Road.

Alan McCormack came through the last 15 minutes unscathed against Exeter although James Olayinka is still not quite ready.

"Vadaine took a knock but that's cleared up and he's fit," said Keith Curle.

"Ryan Watson came off after the ball hit him in the face and he had a little bit of blurred vision but that's cleared up.

"Harry Smith is back involved in training and it was good to get Alan McCormack involved on Saturday and he felt no adverse effects from that.

"Scotty Wharton's back out training and will be available for tomorrow's game, but James Olayinka is a week away.

"We're getting somewhere near a complete squad and it's all looking healthy and as a manager what you want is the majority of your players fit and available for selection.

"It creates competition and players who get the shirt know they have to perform to keep it."
