Waters lasted 87 minutes on his 11th appearance for Cheltenham since re-signing on loan in January as they were beaten 1-0 at Newport County on Friday night. The victory temporarily moved Newport above Town in League Two before the Cobblers drew at Grimsby on Saturday.

Cheltenham are due to host Northampton at Whaddon Road this weekend but Waters will be ineligible due to an agreement between the clubs when he signed on loan.
