DAVID Lucas is set to be missing from action for several weeks after collecting a strain in training. He pulled a muscle at the top of his heap as he jumped for a high ball.

Tepi Moilanen was forced to return to the nets at the weekend despite having an eye injury.

Midfielder Mark Rankine's return from injury has been shuffled back to mid-March. He saw a specialist last week about his broken foot and is making progress.

But Richard Cresswell could be a possible starter for Saturday's game after battling back twice from injury.
