"Unfortunately we will have one or two not make the starting 11, which is quite normal for us at the minute,” Cook said at Thursday morning’s press conference.

"We have lost them in training on Tuesday which is a big, big blow.

"That will only come out in the team on Saturday.”

Armando Dobra scored on his return from an ankle injury against Anstey Nomads but went off at half-time with a hamstring problem.

But there appears to be a little bit of good news about him.

On the 21-year-old, Cook said: "Dobra is coming back into the fold a little bit.

"We need Dobs back to what Dobs was before the injury. The only way that will happen is by training every day and playing games. The more training days he has and certainly the more games he has the better he will be.

"If players have been injured it is a case of getting them up to fitness.

"The lads have had a strong training week this week and a strong training week last week.”

Cook preferred not to discuss any timeframes around injuries to Lucas Covolan (ankle), Jack Clarke (hamstring) or Michael Gyasi (shoulder).
